Ways to Better Birding
Most of the time I bird alone. Not that I am
anti-social but due to my busy schedule, my field
trips are usually spontaneous and unplanned. Birding
alone does have one big benefit because birds are
keenly aware of the presence of strangers and there's
nothing more annoying than a big group of birders
disrupting their activities.
Rule number one
is to be
quiet and not to bother the birds. Birds lead active
and somewhat very precarious life. Every new day
starts with activities that are vital for survival. Be
aware of the presence of the various bird species in
the immediate vicinity by tuning in to the different
birdcalls.
Bird songs may express joy but they also
communicate territorial claims and the attracting of
mates. Territory is about securing sufficient sources
for food, feeding, resting, mating, nesting and the
brooding of young.
