It is so special for me who enjoys to see and hear the birds, to come across ones that are not typically seen in the park. I hear lots of birds when I am there, but don’t always get to see them, as they like to hide in the trees and especially if is full of leaves can not see them. One in a while, I hear one and spot it in the tree with the binoculars bring with me, but if it moves around very fast, I may only see it for a second or two. I love hearing all the different sounds they make and some I recognize, if though I do not know the name of the bird and then sometimes I come across a bird that makes a sound never heard before. I came across a couple of blue birds and know I saw them in pictures I have of birds from a calendar that got years ago and kept it. I looked up the bird in the pictures and was called Eastern Bluebird, but I am in the West, so that was odd. Then I started looking at images online today and came across photos for Western Bluebirds, as didn’t know there was a such a thing. The male is much brighter blue than the female, as saw them together. I am so excited every time I see them. Yesterday, I only saw the male and was flying around from the tree to the ground and at one point I saw it had something in its beak, probably a worm.
The latest bird I just saw recently, is also a picture in the bird calendar I have and is called, American Robin. The male has brighter colors then the female and saw them in the same vicinity. I had never seen them before and the first time noticed them with the binoculars, that were larger than some of the birds have seen and looked much different.
I hope you get out to a park near you and start looking at the birds and enjoying nature and it is worth it to have binoculars, as you can see much more from a distance and not scare them away.
