Birdwatching (often called birding) is the practice of observing and studying the appearance and behavior of wild birds.It is a hobby for many and a sport for a few that gained a lot of popularity in the 20th century.

Learning to correctly identify birds is one of the toughest things when it comes to birdwatching.However,there are several methods and technologies that you can use to help you.

Keeping in mind the habitat you're in will also help you out a lot.For example,you might see a Red-eyed Vireo in a tree top but chances are if you see one on the ground then it might just be a Horned Lark.These are just a few ways of identifying a bird.This list has more.

If you're still having issues or want to take an easy way out then this is where birding technology comes in.There is a very popular app called “Merlin Bird ID”which by just simply answering several questions about the bird will come up with a list of possible matches.

For the most part this will all come down to where you live.You can technically birdwatch just about anywhere birds roam(徜徉)even in your backyard!

Birding is a great hobby,but to become a successful birder,you have to invest time in it.If you have the patience and gain the sufficient knowledge then trust me the birding experience is definitely worth it.While birding is fun,it can be challenging,but if you remain focused on what you are doing,nothing can stop you from enjoying the experience to the fullest.
