Hello all,
Today, I was at the feeders in Central Park, when a ten-year old boy and his grandmother came along. He was carrying a a Gallilean binocular, a Christmas gift, and came from Washington, D.C. I purposely took time to point out all the birds, there. Apparently, he saw a lot of unfamiliar birds, including a red bellied woodpecker, fox sparrows and a pair of Baltimore Orioles. I even let him look through my prismatic binocular, a Meopta.
I thought that nothing was more important than encouraging the youngster. Certainly, it was more important than finding another bird.
Happy bird watching,
