Bird Watching For Begginers

When it comes to bird watching, there are many factors that can affect which birds you see or if you even see them at all.  A beginner’s field guide of your area will give you a better idea of which species you can expect to see, and in which season to see them.  A field guide may also help you identify any birds that you may be unfamiliar with.  Some of the greatest field guides known to birders are the Peterson field guides.  There is a Peterson Field Guide for Eastern birds and there is one for Western birds, which have numerous details about the birds you can expect to see in most areas.

A notepad and pencil are a crucial addition to a bird watcher’s equipment, as they can allow it much easier to identify a bird by writing down notes and sketching pictures of the birds you have seen.  It is a beginner mistake to go right to your field guide the second you see a bird.  Instead, spend as long as you can watching the birds and their colors, beak colors and features, flight patterns, song notes, “chirp” patterns, size, and leg length.  Jot these observatrions down on your notepad, and identifying the bird will come more efficiently than just flipping through through your field guide and guessing by looking at photos.  

Another vital piece of gear for any bird watcher is a high quality binocular, such as Nikon Monarch binoculars.  As many bird watchers will tell you, the difference in quality between a $50 binocular and a $700 binocular is amazing.  You want to be able to see every possible detail about a bird once it is viewed, and a good quality binocular can be the difference between
viewing what you think may be a cardinal, or easily identifying a cardinal at first sight.  With a good binocular, it will make identifying birds more simple, and you will be able to more easily observe fine color details and even the living habits of the species.

Good listening can also affect the number of birds you are able to spot on your bird watching trips.  be sure to listen for calls and songs, as these can be dead giveaways to what species the bird you are observing really is.  One nice thing about your senses is that you can use them all at the same time, therefore listening to a bird while observing it is very possible, and quite enjoyable.  Look for beak and throat movements to ensure the bird you are viewing is the one you are listening to.  There are actually many aided hearing devices used by naturists that can amplify the natural sounds around you in very high definition, and completely deaden sounds as loud as a clap to protect your hearing.  These may make it much easier to hear distinct call patterns and songs.

One of the most vital things in birding is to have fun!  Go out and become a part of a group or club which is dedicated to birding and go on outings with the group.  Take photographs of the birds that you have seen and keep them in a photo album.  There is no doubt fellow bird watchers will be interested in seeing these pictures as well as sharing their knowledge with you, making birding that more stimulating.  Once you have stuck with it for a while, you will be able to identify a bird just by viewing a glimpse of it flying by or by hearing a few chirps.  Remember to always be kind to nature and its inhabitants, and nature will be kind to you in return.
