This Morning Outside

I've been watching for a golden-crowned kinglet, because it's time for them to be migrating through here. Today it was bright, windy, and virtually birdless. Until I ventured into the shady woods. That where all the birds were! Including a golden-crowned kinglet. One of the smallest and favoritest of birds!

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.

And for a closer look at birds...

If your interest in birds is serious, you might want to get a better binocular. Like a Vortex Diamondback.

Vortex DiamondbackIt 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.
