Introduction to bird watching - FREE EVENT
Why get into bird watching? It is the most relaxing of hobbies. Only requirements are eyes and or ears, some free time, and an outdoor area. You can choose how deep you get into it – casual bird observation to Identification and record keeping; from backyard bird watching to spotting birds on walks in parks, fields, and woodlands; from recreational activity to citizen science.
Now is a great time to go bird watching as many birds are migrating through the area, and the temperature is moderate.
Bird watching gives you a reason to explore the natural world and is a form of mindfulness.
Bird watching works for all ages – for everyone. Bird watchers like to help others to find and identify birds. No minimum skill level required – just an interest in spotting, hearing, and learning about birds. Bird watching can be especially fun for children, once introduced they may become bird watchers for life.
About 50 million Americans plan an outing to observe wild birds this year.
Bird watching sharpens your sight, your observation skills, encourages you to explore the world, and helps you to treasure the moment. One moves from the pretty in nature through successive stages of beautiful.
Getting to know birds is like getting to know people and their names. The more we know about them the more we see, recognize and hear them. The more we know about our community.
FREE EVENT: Try bird watching with us at Jericho Mills Riverside Park any time during the day on Sunday Oct 14. We will be there with spare binoculars, scope, guides, and the birds of Jericho will be there too.

I will always believe caring plus contribution equals community.
Laugh, Dream, Try, and do-good.
