Margaret and I have enjoyed bird feeders (and so have the squirrels) and our periodic birding trips with the local Audubon Society, so I thought I would share this Conde Nast Traveler primer on birding. It is a very relaxing and rewarding activity and make you discover places near and far.
"Soon after, I ordered myself a guide to the birds of North America, and quickly found that my photographic outings in Colorado became more and more focused around birds. Bison are nice and all, but have you ever stopped to watch a meadowlark sing or a bald eagle swoop down to catch a fish? The next time a bird flies overhead, take a moment to watch. Whether it’s a humble pigeon at the foot of the Sacré-Cœur in Paris or a brilliant quetzal in the rainforests of Costa Rica, you’ll find that there are living, breathing sights to be excited about—even in the slow moments."
Plenty of birding resources on the web like this from National Geographic
