Publisher's summary

Bird watching, the observation of live birds in their natural habitat, is a popular pastime and scientific sport that developed almost entirely in the 20th century. Find out how to get the most enjoyment from bird watching with this practical audiobook guide packed with proven tips and suggestions.

Birding is a versatile sport that can be either done with or without others. If you are seeking companionship, then birding can be a great social activity. You can share your interest with friends, family, or even join a birding club.

If you seek the chance to get away from everyone for some well deserved solitude, then that is also an option. It's perfectly acceptable to go birding alone. You can go explore nature with the only sounds coming from the birds you are observing.

  • What is bird watching

  • Equipment for bird watching
  • Prominent contributors to bird watching

Do not buy

This book is full of useless information on birding publications. A total bait and switch. No useful tips on actually birding.

An expository paper

This book “read” like a high school writing assignment and the narrator was a beginner as well. Not a significant amount of information either until a detailed explanation of backyard bird counting in a later chapter.
