These are suitable for observing mountain birds that are small and active in densely forested areas. Telescopes with a magnifying power of around 25 are suitable for watching birds at long distances or for watching closely groups of birds gathering to rest or forage in one particular spot. Prepare a field guide and use it as a reference whenever you either cannot identify or are uncertain as to the identity of the birds you see. Wear clothes that are comfortable, light, durable, and of colors that will easily blend in with the natural surroundings.
Safety is of prime importance.
Be careful of steep cliffs, falling rocks, and deep waters. Beware of losing your way in unfamiliar surroundings. Keep the natural environment clean and unspoiled. Obey the rules. Do not intrude in restricted areas such as wildlife reserves, military installations, and private property.
