Things to do:

• Keep a journal: What time of year did you see certain birds? Record sightings, draw pictures, and have coloring pages available.
• Share birding activities with others in the community. Start a club with another local community.
• Remind everyone to respect the birds and their habitat.
• Get your grandchildren involved. Ask engaging questions: how do they fly, what do they eat? Are they playing or fighting?
• Plan a trip to a local park or nature reserve.

Consider the Merlin Bird App: 

Which offers quick identification help for all levels of bird watchers. They even have a sound ID that listens to the birds around you and shows who’s singing. Snap a photo of a bird, or pull one in from your camera roll, and Photo ID will offer a short list of possible matches.  It will help build a list of the birds viewed.
