Intro to Birdwatching

Description

Birdwatching needs little more than patience, a pair of binoculars and a field guide. These seven PDF lessons start with the basics, then cover how to choose binoculars and field guides.

You learn how to identify common birds, find birds in your local area, and understand bird behavior and habitats. A lesson on recording sightings shows how to keep track of what you see, and the last lesson suggests where to take the hobby next. Checklists and exercises are included. The lessons are written for people with no prior knowledge of birds, so each term is explained as it first appears.

Who it is for: beginners who want to start watching and identifying birds near home.
