Tools

Here's a list of tools you should use while birdwatching:
Binoculars
Binoculars allow you to see a bird in more detail so you can better identify any new bird that you see.  Get the best binoculars you can afford.

Camera
You can record a new or interesting bird sighting with a good camera or a digital camera.  Make sure to take a camera everywhere you go so you never miss a good picture!

Notebook/list of birds
If you keep a list of birds, you can track the number of birds you see.  I made a list of feeder birds (birds that are likely to visit feeders) that you can save on your computer and print off!   To access it, click here.
