A Beginner’s Guide to Birding in the Backyard and Beyond
Have you ever heard birds chirping in the early morning hours and wondered whose song was filling the dawning sky? Did you ever wonder what birds were nesting in the letters of the “Kroger” logo on the storefront or how to attract birds to your backyard? Yeah; myself as well.
I’m no professional birder, but I love bird watching, whether it be in the woods or my own backyard. Most of what I’ve learned about birds and birding came from other birders and naturalists, and I’d love to share that with you as well. I’ll share birding tips from how to attract birds to your backyard to what gear will get you through a morning bird walk. Get ready to join the bird nerd club.
