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

2:46. I've been in that situation myself. Went to South Africa on holiday, saw a good few birds that I'm only now trying to ID. I have only started to get into birdwatching in the last year, I probably missed so many amazing birds

Speaking of ebird... I'm going to an island this week where there are no recorded bird sightings on ebird. I will probably be the first!

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.

I feel I'm learning a lot now, but am humbled by other birders' knowledge. Thanks for the tips!

[davidnaylor]

I liked the life list tip. I'll start right away. :D It doesn't hurt that I'm really into lists and organising data & statistics. 🤓

Wow! I was looking for a channel about birding and wildlife photography for so long. This the is perfect place. Love your works.

I used to be interested in birdwatching and I very much regret that I did not make livelist. now that the passion has returned I have to, ,start all over again"

[Saar]

Im tired of myself for having too many interessts and hobbies, painting, music, the gym, but as a kid i used to love nature and birds and i want to get out of the house and in nature more. I feel like i want to go birding but i feel overwhelmed

[Adventure.Ed.Esquire]

Another dope video man, great tip about IG and definitely true, I never thought of that!!

[tobycutler]

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

[pastuh]

I hope soon to receive P1000, first idea was to take random photos. But later realised I can list birds in area. Really interesting 😊
