YashI’ve always loved to observe wildlife from a bird’s eye view. It never fails to amaze me how the same birds that appear to be the same species at first glance are actually quite different.
The birds I love watching are the ones that seem to be the “same species” at first glance, but when you get a closer look it is obvious that they are actually very different species. So, for example, a bird that looks and sounds like a robin is a robin, but is actually a raven. So much of what we do on a daily basis is based on what we think we “see.
So you can’t ever really trust your eyes, but still it’s a good idea to check your eyes at least once every few hours. If you’re not sure whether you just saw a squirrel or a raccoon, it’s better to err on the side of caution.
For me, these are pretty damn useful because they help me narrow down my search to the right bird. They’re also a fun way to read out the names of birds that I might be missing.
You might be thinking, “well that’s not really a useful bird,” but I think it’s a good idea to get familiar with a few common birds and what we call “their names” so that you’re not wasting your time or the time of other birders. It’s a good way to get a bird’s name down as well.
The first time I read a piece of advice from a bird I liked, it was the bird’s name. I got a couple of really useful bird names from these quotes. This next one, I’ve always liked, but I’ve never read it. But I’ve heard it said a million times, there’s no bird like the turkey.
Ive always liked birds. I even had a bird named after me. My dad is the only person who knew my bird’s name, and he called her Ducky. I think she was a yellow warbler, but we couldn’t be sure for a long time. Then one day her name just popped out of my mouth to me and she was standing there on the deck of my house.
Ive just been thinking about what bird I really want to find a nest on the farm I am trying to start, but I just cant seem to see any. Maybe it’s because theres no such thing as a real nest, and Ive never laid my eyes on one.
Well, in this case it’s hard to say whether its because birds don’t exist or because they don’t really nest. I do know that it’s always disappointing when you can’t find a bird in a tree. It takes a lot of strength to go through all of the bird books to find the ones that have images of birds nestled in their branches.
Well, there are actually quite a lot of birds in nature. Most of them are too small to fit in your palm and therefore have been left behind when a large tree is felled. Bird books often do have a few photos of the nests, but they are usually in a book that is meant for an adult bird. And a lot of the photos you see in bird books are of a bird with its head in a nest.
