June 28, 2010 In the enchanted garden at Birdwatching Dot Com Fairfield, Iowa
Relaxed in my chair outdoors, I dreamed a bluebird landed on my knee.

If you prefer literal truth, here is another photo. But I must admit I like the dream bird better.

A field guide (bird book) will help you to recognize the birds that share your life.
One that we like a lot is the National Geographic Guide to Birds of North America. It covers all the birds in North America, and the illustrations are beautiful.
If your interest in birds is serious, you might want to get a better binocular. Like a Vortex Diamondback.
It has good optical quality and an extremely wide field of view. It's waterproof and has a lifetime guarantee.
It comes in several sizes. We recommend the 8x42 model.
