    A literal decided 10 minutes ago that I wanted to get into bird watching. Figured it would be good for not just me but my 5 year old. He loves all the birds that hang around our house.

    Hope you enjoyed the video! I tried giving a few tips you may not hear very often. I'm planning to make more videos talking about specific tips while out in the field and while learning to identify birds in your area. I'll also be doing some birding vlogs now that the snow is finally starting to melt :D

    The third tip, go out with an experienced birder, This is the one. It makes all the difference if you will bother to pay attention to what they are telling you. This is how I learned. Also, leave the field glasses down and look at the shape, silhouette, and behavior of the bird.

      @Xenephos Před rokem

      Going to hijack this older comment to mention that you should look for citizen science bird surveys in your area! That’s how I started and it really ramped up my learning curve. There will almost certainly be experienced birders or naturalists present that can give you oodles of tips.

  • @tobycutler80
    @tobycutler80 Před 6 měsíci

    I am in a similar situation, having been interested in birds all my life but never really focused on writing down what I saw even though I would go ID a lot of things - so I was able to dig through photos and add Surf Scoter from Alaska, Blue and Gold Macaw from Florida and Laughing Gull from the bahamas, plus a Townsend's Warbler from my yard last Oct, but tough luck for all the other birds from those places plus mexico and canada and I have no idea when I'll get to go back! Everyone who even marginally enjoys bird viewing and identifying should consider recording their sightings for sure

  • @pummkin
    @pummkin Před 3 lety +5

    Many don't realise that when you put a list of birds publicly using eBird, you are supplying the list to poachers who will go through that to find the exact bird they want to capture. In countries where enforcement is scarce, we tend to lose our species from indiscriminate reporting that way. No, we birders here don't expose our wild birds this way.
