Brown Thrasher Junior would very much appreciate it if Mom or Dad would remember that their first responsibility is to stuff food into Junior's gaping beak.

Make that a double, and hurry up, please.

Name that bird!

NGS Field GuideA 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, Fifth Edition. It covers all the birds in North America, and the illustrations are beautiful.

Inexpensive binoculars

Vortex Shrike BinocularEveryone interested in watching wild birds deserves her or his very own binoculars.

A good binocular for getting started does not have to be expensive, but it should have good optical quality.

The Vortex Shrike 8x42 costs only $99.99.
