This Morning Outside

My father hollowed out a coconut and twisted some wire around it to make this bird feeder. Black-capped chickadees and other small birds love to visit it for sunflower seeds as it swings in the breeze. This feeder is my favorite also because reminds me of the person who made it.

Name that bird!

NGS Field GuideA field guide (bird book) will help you to recognize the birds that share your life.

One that we like a lot is the National Geographic Guide to Birds of North America, Fifth Edition. It covers all the birds in North America, and the illustrations are beautiful.

And for a closer look at birds...

If your interest in birds is serious, you might want to get a better binocular. Like a Vortex Diamondback.

Vortex DiamondbackIt has good optical quality and an extremely wide field of view. It's waterproof and has a lifetime guarantee.

It comes in several sizes. We recommend the 8x42 model.
