Birder PapaRrazi
An Amateur Birdwatcher's tally
Bird songs filled the air. Calls of all sorts seemed to come from all over. Some were melodic, some were shrill and sharp. I have 2 bird audio identifiers on my phone, and each went into overdrive identifying birds on my Sunday country drive. I was already excited. High in an 80 foot tree an eagle was bringing his mate a meal for the kid or kidlets. She was screaming with delight, “helping” him with directions sharply given. Closer to me, in a meadow right by my car were goldfinches – my first for the season. The identifiers also confirmed my suspicion of Killdeer. Robins and song sparrows were singing and calling. This place could be called a birders heaven for that moment. May brought adventure to my birdwatching in the form of an eagle’s nest, several babies of different types, and the sound identifying aps. How many bird species did I count?
This month has gotten me excited. I plan to present an article on the bird song identifiers as well as a movie reflecting the eagles’ story in the next month. Hope you will check them out!

AuthorI love birdwatching. It's relaxing and fun. Even though I've been birding for over 10 years I classify myself as an amateur birder. I plan to write a blog each month about my experiences. Hope you enjoy them! Categories |
