In early summer the bird population increases and we look forward to the return of many of our beautiful bird friends.
Even birds like to spend time alone and will run away from their nest sometimes. We know that we can scare them, but when they are nesting, we allow our curiosity to overcome our good judgment.
Binoculars or field glasses are a great help when we want to see what birds are doing. A mirror set at an angle on a stick and held over a nest, will show us what is going on without our touching, pulling on the branches or annoying the mother bird.
We must be careful if we want the birds to stay with us. We must be aware of the danger of cats and try to control them. We must also try to provide food, water, and shelter.
If you provide all these things, without annoying the birds, you should have a fine bird population to entertain you this summer.
