Birdwatching

In 2022, a website listed a total of approximately 15.23 billion bird watchers in the United States.  That’s a lot of bird watchers in the United States.

Do you consider yourself a birdwatcher?  On this National Audubon Day it is a chance for you to take some time to birdwatch whether you are new to it or a bird expert..  

John James Audubon became a popular figure for birdwatchers and nature.  He is credited with writing and illustrating one of the best ornithological books cataloging the birds of our United States back in 1827-1839..  In addition, Mr. Audubon is also credited with identifying 25 new bird species.

The National Audubon Society, named after Mr. Audubon, is a national society and anyone can join.  Likewise in Massachusetts, you can also join a local group called the Mass Audubon Society (https://www.massaudubon.org/).

Basically, you can find over 60 wildlife sanctuaries to visit through the Mass Audubon Society. You’ll also see information on programs offered, ways for you to get involved and listings for wildlife and land conservation opportunities.

As you can see, there are many ways to enjoy the birds in your area.  Birds are everywhere and they make themselves heard and seen right out your window wherever you are.

Private Home Health Care hopes that on this day and the days ahead you will be able to find time to observe the birds in your surroundings.  This time of year the birds are a sign of warmer weather to come.  We hope you will enjoy learning and listening to birds.
