The Beginners Guide to Birdwatching – How to Get Started
I find myself becoming more and more interested in the natural world and it seems that one of the most enriching ways to experience it is through birdwatching. I’d love to take birdwatching up as a hobby but with all the information available online and not to mention the amount of equipment and accessories for sale, I find myself feeling a little lost.
How can a beginner birdwatcher get started?
Despite appearances, birdwatching actually requires very little in terms of both initial investment in equipment and time commitment. All you need to become a birdwatcher is the knowledge of where to find birds, the most basic of gear and of course, a passionate interest in our fine feathered friends. If you’ve always enjoyed the undeniable beauty of the many birds that surround us, why not join the over 40 million Americans who call themselves birdwatchers? Read on for a thorough introduction to this fast-growing past-time that for some, morphs from a mild interest a lifelong obsession in no time!
Birder or Birdwatcher – Which One are You?
One of the biggest sources of confusion for newbie bird enthusiasts comes down to the distinction between the two terms. What constitutes a birder? How is that different from birdwatching? Is it important to know the difference? Try calling any dedicated birder a birdwatcher and you’ll see for yourself how important that difference is! More often than not, it’s one of the only times a birder will turn his or her nose up in disgust. Birders take their birdwatching extremely seriously. The best way to think of it is in sports terms. Birdwatchers are essentially the same as armchair athletes. They allow the birds to come to them – enjoying their behavior and unique beauty in a more relaxed and passive manner. Of course, they have a passion for the animals and an interest in the ‘sport’ of birding, but they are not by any means professional athletes. The act of birdwatching is just that – watching. It’s cheap, fun and relaxing -there’s a good chance you’ve done it multiple times without even ascribing a name to it!
