New Birders are excited to add species to their lists
and field notes, but unfortunately not every one is lucky
enough to live in an area with large numbers of bird species.
New Birders can become frustrated easily when they run
into the same birds every day.
A good resource in finding new and exciting species is
your local Audubon society. Another way to find birds
in your area is to find books on migrating birds and find
out when new birds are most likely going to be in your
area.

Audubon's mission is to conserve and restore natural
ecosystems, focusing on birds, other wildlife, and their
habitats for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological
diversity.
The Audubon Society has a large network of community-based
nature centers and chapters, scientific and educational
programs, and advocacy on behalf of areas sustaining important
bird populations. They engage millions of people of all
ages and backgrounds in positive conservation experiences.
Support your local audubon and become a member, meet fellow
birders and learn where to find birds in your local area.
If your lucky enough to live next to a zoo check out
their bird center, chances are you'll find some knowledgeable
zoo keepers willing to give you some advice on birds local
to the area. Also visiting the zoo will allow you the
chance to see birds that are not native to your area.
As more land is used to accommodate the ever growing
human population, yards and city parks become important
bird habitat. Diversified landscaping and feeding stations
offer an oasis of resources in the middle of the human
domain. Feeding and watching birds gives families the
opportunity to practice conservation right in their own
yards. Children can learn and enjoy the wonders of nature
right from the kitchen window.
