The Gift of Birding

By: Shackleton, Kevin R.

It is never too late to become a birder.

The materials available for the beginning bird watcher/birder are designed to make taking up the pastime easy. Today's binoculars and spotting scopes are much improved on those available thirty years ago. Websites like eBird can help keep track of bird sightings and let the novice know when and where to find more birds. Applications like Merlin help with visual and sound identification. Field guides are now fully illustrated with colour plates as opposed to a few pages in the oldest field guides. If you have ever thought you would like to know more about birding this could be the introduction you have been seeking.
