You can attract birds to your yard with just a little work. Planting the right flowers will attract hummingbirds. Sunflower seeds will bring lots of new birds to your house. You might even want to build a bluebird house. You can also keep a list of birds you see in your town or on your vacation.
Birders often keep lists for their county, state or country.
They may also keep track of birds seen in one day or one month or one year. This is all terribly easy to do with a computer listing program. Our favorite is Thayer Birding Software's Birder's Diary version 2.5 . All rights reserved.
