What Clothing To Wear When Bird Watching

Outdoor Nature Cameras: BirdCam 2.0Whenever you’re doing things it’s really better to be geared up for best results. It’s always better to be prepared, especially when your out there bird watching.


Are you a birdwatcher or a birder?


The birdwatchers do their bird watching for fun. They’re rather fond of the birds and enjoy taking pleasure in bird sightings.


Bird watchers do their observation without the need for anything more than a pair of binoculars. That would be me, just enjoying watching them go about their daily activities.


I find bird watching to be very relaxing. I even do a bit of bird watching right from my work from home office windows. Our backyard has birds flying around and chirping all year long, even in the winter months.


The birders are usually quite serious about the birding and don’t usually just want to observe. They have the need to discover and share that knowledge they gain from birding.


Birders tend to study every movement of the species of birds they encounter. They’ll even go the extra mile to find new territories to find more birds to study.


As a bird watcher I tend to just wear my normal clothes but birders tend to get dressed so that they don’t draw too much attention from the birds they observe.


Geared Up


The standard needs of an individual involved in bird watching are usually their binoculars but a spotting scope can be most useful, particularly the kind with tripod, notepad wherein to keep their journal and field guides.


A lot of birders would have a camera as well but today cameras with video are so inexpensive that more and more birders are carrying video cameras to share what they see.


A bird watcher like myself requires a field guide as I just enjoy watching birds but haven’t learned enough to know where to find them or even what they are called once I find them.


My brother is more of an artist than I am so he always brings his drawing pad, it’s a birder’s best friend. He takes lots of notes as well.


Birding is a great way to get away from day to day life for a while and enjoy the lives of these little flying creatures that come in so many varieties.
