What exactly is bird
watching? If you go walking through the forest and spy a bird,
are you bird watching? Do you have to be knowledgeable in the
study of birds before you are considered a bird watcher? Bird
watching or birding is basically defined as the observation
and study of birds with the naked eye or through a visual
enhancement device like binoculars. Though some may
disagree, bird watching and birding is essentially the same
thing, both are the observation of birds in the wild.

キアシシギ
キアシシギはよく見るシギのひとつですが、このときは１０羽くらいの群れが次々に波打ち際に飛んできました。
潮が引き始めてすぐに可愛い姿を見せてくれて、他のシギやチドリと一緒に仲良く干潟でえさ探しをしていました。

大型哺乳類の死体を食べるハゲワシがオランダに生息しているはずがないと思ったが、やはりシロエリハゲワシはスペイン北部で保護されたことを示す個体識別用の足輪をつけていた。

今週の池
真夏になっても池の様子に大きな変化はないようで、とりあえず一安心というか、水質や水温など生物にはそこそこの環境を保てているようです。水面はアサザとスイレン、ヒシの葉に覆われて水中の様子が見えるところが少なくなりました。蒸発して水が減る

In the birding community though,
there is some disagreement about grouping the two terms into
the same category. Many deem bird watching to be
different than birding on quite a few levels. They feel
that mere bird watchers deem it more as a past time and don't
pursue it with the same enthusiasm as a birder. It is
felt that bird watchers are more content to observe more
locally and don’t invest in the same grade of equipment as
that of a birder. In short, birders don't tend to rank
themselves in the same category as bird watchers.
Birders feel this way because
they tend to invest in higher technology equipment and are
dedicated to study birds for more than general observation.
Many birders will purchase optical equipment such as spotting
scopes. They may even invest in auditory equipment in
order to identify the species by year. They take
note in moult, distribution, migration patterns, and habitat.
Birders are also more prone to travel in order to pursue their
passion of birds. It's basically the same sport; one
group just takes it a notch higher than others.
So what do you do when you go birding?
Birding is a little more involved than merely looking at
birds, though you do observe them. Birding also
included learning to recognize the birds and identify
them. As with any subject you study, you begin to
understand the birds and gain knowledge of what they're doing
while in nature. Many people outside the birding world
don't seem to realize that there are over 800 different types
of birds.
Obviously everyone has to start
somewhere when they begin a new hobby or sport. You
aren't going to automatically know everything there is about
birds without researching them. For many it takes years
before they gain a firm understanding of all the aspects of
birding, and all are still learning as new information
emerges. Just for clarification purposes, going to the
zoo and looking at birds is not birding. Birding is the
observation of birds in the wild or natural habitat, not in
cages or captivity.
So do you have to be some retired person with loads of
money in order to go birding? Not at all, anyone who has an
interest can watch birds. It's something that you can
start out young and continue through adulthood. It's an
activity that can involve the whole family. There is no
encompassing age or demographic when it comes to birding. It's
actually proving to be one of the fastest growing activities
in America and is also extremely popular in Britain as
well.
So why should I observe birds? Why do other people sit and
watch birds? Birds are a beautiful species that are absolutely
amazing, especially while in flight. It's breathtaking
to just sit and watch them soar so high above the earth, so
effortlessly in the clouds. In ancient times, the bird
was considered a foreseer of the future. Now in or world
of technology, they can still let us know what we can expect
in the environment. They can often help us build a
stronger bond with nature.
Are there any the benefits that come with birding? To the
beginner and novice in birding, there are a variety of
benefits that you can benefit from. First and foremost
is the fun and pleasure that can be found in birding.
There is also a certain satisfaction that comes from searching
for the different species of bird. It's almost like
hunting without harming your prey. Birding can also be a fun
family activity that helps to strengthen the bond between
children, parents, and grandparents. Also it helps
introduce children to nature and aid them in gaining a respect
for it as well.
Birding is a versatile sport that can be either done with
or without others. If you are seeking companionship,
then birding can be a great social activity. You can
share your interest with friends, family, or even join a
birding club. If you seek the chance to get away from everyone
for some well deserved solitude, then that is also an option.
It's perfectly acceptable to go birding alone. You can go
explore nature with the only sounds coming from the birds you
are observing.
So now that you have an interest in birding, where do you
go? For beginners it can be as simple as stepping out your
front door. Start with your own neighborhood; observe
the birds in your own backyard, so to speak. Watch their
behaviors, look at what they're doing. Once you've done that,
try to start identifying the birds you see. Start paying
attention when you travel, especially if there is a change in
environment. It's likely that you'll see new species of
birds when you travel quite a ways from home. This is just the
start of your birding experience.
