“Close Encounters of the Bird Kind” in GA’s Parks
For extra fun try to find an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker in any of Georgia’s State Parks!
You won’t believe this, but there are people who would rather watch I Love Lucy reruns than observe the live birds in their own backyards. Really!
Our feathered friends will visit often for a drink of water and a few crumbs. They’ll even sing for their supper!
You can see birds without investing a dime or you can buy a pair of binoculars. They cost anywhere from thousands down to a pair by Tasco for less than $30. My favorites are Nikon 8×42 A211 Aculons. Shop around and you’ll find them for $70.
This month, our friends at Georgia’s State Parks make birding easy and enjoyable. All you need is a passion for these gorgeous creations.
