I started birding in 2021. My parents discovered a Great Horned Owl nest, and ever since then I’ve been hooked. Birding is like being on a scavenger hunt. I love it!
I honed my camera skills at my bird bath and bird feeders. Then I tagged along with a couple of expert bird photographers. Those women showed me some spots and habitats to find birds, and now I usually go on my own. My favourite seasons to go birding are spring and fall migration, and of course winter when it’s easier to spot the birds as there are no leaves on the trees. I guess any time of year is good for birding. Birding is great for your mental health too as it makes you focus on finding birds to photograph, not on yourself.
