You might ask a friend who's into birds, or you might get a bird book. Maybe you'll go on a field trip with a local birding club. Birding is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. You'll develop a deep appreciation of nature. The birders you meet will be wonderful people and you will develop many life-long friends.
Many birders are also interested in butterflies, or the plants and wildflowers along the trail.
You will find that there's always something to learn each time you go out birding. See Field Guides National Geographic has a few more new books. See Location Guides National Geographic also has a birder's journal for North American birds. Fully illustrated with space to keep your life list. Detailed information on where to find specific bird species.
