Kid Birding

Some of you know what birding is; some of you don't.  It is looking for birds and getting to know the different kinds of birds.  I am not that advanced of a birder, but I get my kids into birding.  They know what a lot of birds are like cardinals, house sparrows, and european starlings.  They are getting to know killdeer, chickadees, and nuthatches.  How can birding be fun for kids?  Good question.  My ten year old reminded me how he remembers this one tree because I was looking at my first yellow warbler (and my first warbler).  So learn about a few birds and show your kids.  Learn their calls and songs.  It can be fun for kids.
