Bird watching in the garden may be the best pastime for a pandemic. If you don’t have a garden, a porch or a roof will suffice. Here are the steps to start bird watching.
Set the table. Attracting a giant and varied population requires several feeders, providing treats designed to attract certain species. Tubulars, provided with hangers too small for giant birds and filled with food for mixed seed finches, will attract finches and other small birds. A feeder with giant enough hangers for giant birds, filled with an aggregate of feed for wild birds rich in nuts, culmination and sunflower seeds, will attract cardinals, blue leases, quiscales and other giant birds.
Be patient. It may take weeks for birds to notice their loose buffet, but once the feeders are installed, you’ll see birds you’ve never seen. While you sit and wait, read a box consultant or download the Audubon Bird Guide app to stay informed about your new feathered guests.
Take a closer look. Bird watching with the naked eye is entertaining, but most birdwatchers use binoculars. You can buy a smart pair for less than $150, or you can spend $3,000 on the models. Look for models that offer an increase of 8x or more, so that a bird will look at least 8 times larger when viewed through them than when viewed with the naked eye.
Or take a picture. If you want to photograph birds, start with your smartphone. For more professional results, choose a 35-millimeter high-resolution virtual camera and a telephoto lens. But even if you buy used equipment, expect to pay at least $500.
Thank you for your day with The New York Times.
