Probably sounds kind of funny to be asking a bunch of hard core “gun guys” about birding, but does anyone partake?
Admittedly I’ve always made fun of “birders” and birding but my wife set out some new bird feeders around the house a few weeks ago and about the same time the state fish and game department’s most recent newsletter was about songbirds and birding. Since then I’m kinda of getting into it. I live in a small mountain town and the migratory birds are starting to make their way up. I downloaded the Cornell School of Ornithology app for bird ID watching and it’s been quite enjoyable and fun.
Frankly, my life is full is stress and topped with all the BS from the last year+, and as I approach 50, finding enjoyment in simple things like this is helpful. I never thought watching a Mountain Chickadee eat out of a bird feeder or an American Robin build a nest, or learn the songs and ID each bird I hear, would be so cool. We have some great wildlife preserves and marshes in the area and I believe I’ll expand my new birding horizons this summer...
Go ahead and poke fun but anyone else?
