The thrills of bird watching from a boat!




By Alex Adams

Building and decorating a bird house is something that parents and kids
can do together. It is relatively cheap and can provide hours of
entertainment even after the project is completed. Finches fly in a more
exaggerated roller coaster pattern while woodpeckers fly in a more
moderate rise and fall pattern. Then there are birds like Sharp-shinned
Hawks, Cooper's Hawks, and Northern Goshawks that make several wing
flaps which are followed by a long glide, whereas a Red Tailed Hawk can
usually be seen soaring.

You're now armed with the education you really should have to make an
educated buying decision!

Even if you don't need to break your cage all the way down, it's handy to
be able to pull a portion of the cage off to clean it without having to get
out the tools. Good quality cages literally snap in & out of place without
the need for any tools at all!

With so many people hoping to see a bird they¡¯ve never seen before, it¡¯s
not surprising to see a clamoring for the latest tips and tools to get the
job done.

The thrills of bird watching from a boat

Bird watching is an activity that can keep a person thrilled to no limits. In
fact, the only limit to this nature-loving pastime is a person¡¯s endurance,
patience and of course, vision. The only limit to enjoying this pastime is a
person¡¯s imagination.

There are plenty of locations where one can go bird watching. Anyone
can go birding right in his garden. Some people particularly in New York
visit the various parks famous for bird watching activities. Wild birds are
actually everywhere because they travel from place to place depending
on the season. However, birds flock in areas with a good environment and
which is not polluted.

A person who is just starting with this hobby can consult a bird watching
field guide to make sure he knows a little about birds and how to identify
them. Being able to know what you are looking for can be twice the fun
compared to being ignorant of what literally lies on the horizon.

There are people who believe that the best place to go bird watching is
near a river. They also agree that bird watching from a boat can give one
the pleasure of going boating and watching birds. However, bird watching
from a boat should be done during summer because this is the time when
the birds flock along the rivers.

Practice Before You Go. A key to viewing wildlife, and especially birds, is
to have the ability to very quickly put your binoculars on target.

If you desire the look of antiques without the price tag, reproductions are
also available. Replica antique bird cages often maintain the look and style
of the original, but at a fraction of the cost. Perhaps many people think
that owning a bird is reserved for the wild at heart or certainly for those
living in a tropical climate.

Just where to hang the feeders? In general, it is good to hang these
feeders in any part of the garden where there is no direct exposure to
sunlight and where the wind will not be able to shake the feeder.

And here's why; when you decide to squeeze a cage into a specific place
in your house this almost always takes away from the well-being of your
bird! Bird watching from a boat can give a person the advantage of being
able to see and then hear the birds chirping without disturbing them.
Some even get their best birds sightings when on a boat because of the
serenity of the waters. Remember that birding means watching or
observing wild birds and not those that are in cages so keep an eye on
the areas where they will be flying free.

Migrating wild birds often cross rivers so birding while on a boat can give a
person the best vantage point. Some people would be amazed to know
that there can be at least a hundred species of birds in his area alone.
Being aware of what birds flock along the river can make birding from a
boat more fulfilling.

Bird watching can be a fun and fulfilling hobby that can be pursued alone
or in the company of friends or family. It can be bonding time for a father
and son or even for the whole family. Anyone can have fun bird watching
without spending too much money. A person who wants to get the most
of his bird watching hobby should read about birds, their natural habitats
and the techniques of how to identify certain bird species. Certainly,
these things will not cost a person much except of course, in terms of his
time and effort.

Okay, most people are not informed enough to make a good decision
when buying a bird cage. That's really not good, because if you're buying
a good quality cage it isn't going to be cheap, and if you are paying a
decent amount of money, you need to get the best product you can get
for that money!

Do not buy a generic bird cage, it will most likely come without a manual,
without a tech support phone number, and without a decent warranty.
Department stores and discount stores sometimes offer sales on bird
cages. Check the advertising section of your local newspaper.

There isn¡¯t a more important purchase to be made for your new bird,
then your bird¡¯s cage. Well-made cages of high quality materials are
expensive but are often safer and will be worth it over the life span of
your bird. If you are a new bird watcher, we urge you to joing a bird
watching forum. Just like people, birds get hot and thirsty. Especially
during the blistering summer months, your favorite flying friends may be
roasting in their feathers. Help out your local birds and provide them with
a shady spot to splash, play, bathe, and drink--a bird bath!
