Once someone tells me what a new bird is I make a note and then look it up in my bird book etc. Can't carry my heavy bird-book around with me - I have my binoculars around my neck; my long-lens camera off one shoulder, and my little point and shoot for locations pics in my pocket. Sometimes it's also wise to have a backpack with other things i.e. water, insect repellent, sun-screen - the list gets longer....Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-81653542419898470362013-03-30T17:41:27.426+11:002013-03-30T17:41:27.426+11:00How do you ever learn to identify all these specie...How do you ever learn to identify all these species of birds, Carole! (I swear we only have 3 here, but it's not true. There are a few more. Ha!) Still, I wonder, do you take a birding book with you, or just know them all by now?! It's so impressive!Sharylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290002867469159820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-33624743490764271942013-03-30T16:04:15.294+11:002013-03-30T16:04:15.294+11:00Love the breast markings on the oriole!
