Can you think of a time when you stopped to watch or admire a bird? Perhaps an American Robin in your front yard or a Mallard dabbling in a pond at the park. If so, congratulations, friend! You have dipped your toes into the fantastic world of birding. In this blog I share tips on how to begin spotting birds, when and where to start looking, and helpful tools to use. I hope this will be helpful for you, my bird-curious friends!
