With more time spent at home, many people have taken up bird watching as a hobby. If you are new to birdwatching, the Audobon Society has a link of Maryland Specific resources to help you get started identifying birds and connecting with other local birdwatchers in the area. Appreciating the color, sounds and personalities of the birds in your backyard is a beautiful activity to embrace during this time.

“Birds are kind of beautiful to me because they’re living their lives alongside us and doing all the things that we do.” —John Rowden, PhD, of The National Audubon Society

If you’d like to take your bird watching to the next level, the Audobon Bird Guide App can help you easily identify the names of the birds based on their song and appearance. Investing in a pair of binoculars and/or feeders can help you get a closer look and improve your sighting. If you’d like to record the birds you find, this might be a great opportunity to pick up that old digital camera that’s been collecting dust in the closet! Taking photos and keeping a record of the birds who’ve made a home at your home could add a lot of joy to the observation process. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a database called the “eBird”, which allows you to track your bird observations. You’ll be able to record your findings and look back upon them over the course of time to see the array of species you’ve noticed and appreciated.
