Regarding bird life . . . there are more than 700 species of birds in North America, and many
people aspire to add as many of these names to their life list as possible. Birding is one of the top leisure
activities, yet it doesn't require fancy equipment. A reasonable pair of binoculars and field guide will put you in touch
with the species around you. Learning birds is like learning a new language - you learn a little bit at a time. You may
start with the kitchen window feeder and graduate with a birding safari to Alaska! Understanding bird life gives you a
understanding of their needs to survive within a habitat. When we protect habitat we protect all the species using that
habitat, including birds. Support your local conservation organizations to protect habitat - be a good steward!
