Bird life list

Birds

One of the most exciting things about being a Birder is starting your life list and realizing 

how many birds you already know. Through these five levels of making a life list, both new and

 experienced birds can keep a record of how many different species they have seen.

1. Notice all the common birds you saw even before you went to the field. Browse a wide field 

guide with a special focus on the abundant birds in your area. Many birds of prey did not

know the official name of the bird of prey, even though they did not know it before they 

started cutting birds, but they were surprised to discover that they were familiar with a 

dozen or more bird species.

Carefully compare the characteristics of birds for accurate identification: Not every species 

can be easily identified. For example, many roses look the same except for small differences

 in their markings, size, or behavior. Examine bird range maps and population densities when

 needed for confident identification, but do not intervene to identify each single species.

2. Offer tempting treats at home backyard feeders or if you already have a bird feeder, 

provide more exotic seeds and food to attract more exotic species.

Commercial bird mixes are Basic Finch, Sparrow.

Niger (thistle) seeds will attract siskin and sonarfin and nectar is irresistible to 

hummingbirds and orioles. Use suits to attract almonds and larger birds and invite 

wins to your backyard with peanuts.

Not all birds will be fed from a backyard feeder, but all birds need water, shelter

 and nesting sites. To attract more birds, add a chick to your yard and consider 

shelter like a pile of brushes or a birdhouse.

3. Once you have finished the instant application of your backyard, you can cross your property 

line to find more birds. Even in a single neighborhood, a wide variety of landscaping, tree

 species and flowers will attract birds. A common neighbor can acquire several new bird species

 to observe the walk.

Venture a little further away to find extra birds. River trails, natural walks, lakes, parks 

and a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers are great places to find birds locally. See different

 habitats such as forests, farmland and wetlands to see a wide variety of birds.

4.To create the most hotspots for your local bird, join a local or regional bird organization. 

Bird chicks clubs and bird conservation associations often sponsor local bird walks or day 

trips to regional bird sites. Occasional walkways can be arranged through bird supply stores,

 libraries or other community groups.

On any trip, you may be able to interact with other birds that share your passion and you may

 exchange tips and advice for finding and identifying new species. 

5.The most experienced and enthusiastic birds often plan vacations that coincide with popular

 bird festivals or travel to new areas with great bird watching opportunities. Once you have

 chosen a travel destination, look for local bird locations and contact local experts or bird

 organizations for tips on where to go to see specific species.

                Keep a comprehensive, concise bird journal to record your observations and the species you have seen. Many field guides provide a checklist of species as an appendix or you can create your own 

list in a notebook.
