Birds are highly visible. They are around us all year, playing roles in an outdoor drama that changes players with the seasons. Winter brings its own feathered visiâ€" tors down from faraway northern places. Spring promises the return of other birds after a long journey to distant southern wintering grounds. Perhaps the greatest appeal of all in bird watching is that anyone can join in the adventure - young or old, healthy or infirm. There is no need for great skills or knowledge in the beginning. But neither is there a limit to what one may discover and learn in studying these feathered friends. Bird watching is a bonus, an added reward that goes with many kinds of outdoors adventures. Winter is a good time to start with the birds that come to your feeders, ‘ and with no foliage on the trees, they can be seen more easily for identifiâ€" cation. For the novice, a good field guide brid book on eastern birds and binoculars, also a note book is use- ful to jot down time and place where seen, color and any other informa-7 tion that can be used for identifi- cation. There are many good books on the subject of Ornithology. Roger Tory Peterson books are excellent. He has one, "How To Know the Birds", a pocket-sized guide that is easy to ‘carry in your hand or pocket when out in the field or woods. I hope everyone saw the recent T.V. program on the Nature of Things, Roger Tory Peterson "Portrait of a Bird Watcher", a great and worthwhile program. At present we are hosting over 300 birds. About 200 of these are gros- beaks, a great number of blue jays, chicadees, woodpeckers, nuthatches, goldfinches, tree and English spar- rows, starlings and one brewers black- bird that for some reason was left behind during migration. Recent bird sightings were a great horned owl seen on the Chaffeys Lock road. This owl is the largest of the owl family and has a liking for skunk meat as well as rabbits, rodents and smaller birds.
