Bird watching is fast becoming a very popular sport amongst thepeople of America. In fact, statistics show that bird watchinghighly surpasses the number of people watching baseball andfootball games in North America.
The most important part of successful bird watching is, of course, toget to where the birds are. Although this sounds obvious, many peoplewasie their time and energy at poor locations. Some people have the luckof watching birds in their backyards, while some need to search for spots.It is highly recommended to visit the National Wildlife Refuge to watchbirds, as there are many varieties of birds found there.
Before embarking upon a quest for a location to watch birds, it isbetter to do some researching as to the varieties of birds that can be foundin that location. Although there are numerous species of birds around, onlya few species are found in specific locations. So with a little preparation, itwould be rather easy to identify bird species from one another. To watchthe birds, it is always better to have a great pair of binoculars, preferably apair with a built-in digital camera. Some binoculars also have the featurethat keeps your view from shaking, anti-fogging, low-light viewing andwide-view characteristics. Such a binocular will turn a mediocre experienceinto a great one! Practice putting your binoculars to target before actuallybird watching; birds are usually visible for only a few seconds, and thispractice leads to one becoming proficient.
It is always better to take someone with you when bird watching, aslife is always better when shared. Not only will you be able to spend timewith someone you like, you may get alerted to the best sighting of the day.It is also better to pass the birding excitement to a child. The best part ofbird watching is that you, as the viewer, get to control your experience.The more prepared you are, the better the results. And finally, no birdwatcher is actually complete without a bird watching journal wherein youcan note all the findings of the day.
在美国，观鸟正在迅速成为一项颇受欢迎的运动。事实上，有数据显示在北美参与观鸟运动的人数已远远超出了观看棒球和橄榄球比赛的人。
要成功地进行观鸟，最重要的当然是要找到鸟儿的栖息之地。尽管这听上去再明白不过了，但仍有很多观鸟者由于选择的地点不佳而白白浪费了时间和精力。有些人很幸运，在自家后院就能观看鸟类，但有些人则必须去寻找一处好地方。我强烈推荐你去美国国家野生动物保护区观看鸟类，因为在那里你可以找到各种各样的鸟儿。
在上路寻找一处观鸟地之前，你最好再做一些调查，看看在该地区可找到哪些鸟。虽然那里的鸟类品种繁多，但有几种鸟类却只能在特定的地区才能找到。因此稍稍做些准备的话，你就能很容易地辨别鸟的种类了。为了观察鸟儿，准备一个双筒望远镜就再好不过了，最好是带内置数码摄像头的那种。有些双筒望远镜还有防抖、防雾、夜视和广角视野等功能。这样的望远镜可以把一个平平常常的活动变成一次精彩的体验!在真正进行观鸟前要练习如何用你的望远镜瞄准目标，因为鸟儿们通常就现身那么几秒的时间，这样的练习可以使你运用自如。
要是能带上别人和你一起观鸟就更好了，因为与人分享会给你带来更多生活乐趣。你不仅可以和你喜欢的人共度一段时光，还可能在对方提醒下看到不寻常的景致。能把观鸟的兴奋体验与孩子分享就更好了。观鸟运动中最精彩的部分是你作为观察者能够控制自己的体验。你准备得越是充分，观鸟的效果也就越好。最后，如果你没有写观鸟日志的话，你的观鸟体验就不能称为完整。在日志里，你可以记录下这一天中所有的发现。
