Birdfeeders

Birdwatching is an easy and enjoyable hobby to start. It also has great rewards for you as well as for the birds. You may find a wonderful lifetime hobby starts with a simple bird feeder in your yard. To begin being serious about watching birds in your yard, all you need is a bird field guide and a wall calendar. The field guide is important to help you identify birds and calendar is a handy place to jot notes about the birds you see in your yard. When do the migrating species arrive and leave? When do the young begin to appear at your feeders? It’s quite interesting to compare notes of your sightings from one year to the next. For example, in my notes last year I noted that the first orioles appeared at my oriole feeder in mid March. Therefore, I will put it up about March 1 this year to have the best opportunity to encourage them to nest nearby.
