Birdwatching has evolved into a popular pastime, which means that it is quite possible that you have an ornithophile in your life - always busy scoping out birds, obsessed with field guides and birding gear. Who knows, you probably are even one. You just don't know it yet! Have you spent hours anticipating a bird will visit the bird feeder in the yard? Or have you been reluctantly tagging along with a friend for a weekend of birding adventure? Then you might have been unknowingly transformed into a budding bird watcher. If you've been thinking about becoming one of the millions of birdwatchers in the United States, there's no better time than the present to dive in (or, at the very least, take a few tentative steps in the direction of becoming one). It's National Bird Day, and the birds are calling you!
It's the beginning of a new year, so if you're looking for a new hobby that will make you get out there to be closer to nature and also offers an opportunity to meet like-minded people, then bird watching could be the perfect hobby for you. Whether done solo or with groups, bird watching is an enjoyable pastime that is also beneficial to one's health. It is not difficult to get started and offers tremendous flexibility for any lifestyle. To get started, you won't need much in the way of equipment, and you can do it right in your own backyard or at a nearby park
