Get Up Close & Personal
With Your Favorite Birds
|
|
Window
feeders are exciting feeders, because they attract the birds to within a
few inches of you. Movement inside the house will scare the birds
momentarily, but they soon come back. We recommend these feeders near
your breakfast window so as you sip your coffee you have a "close
encounter" with nature to start the day. Young children are especially
thrilled to see birds so close, as are the aged or infirmed that cannot
see birds at a distant feeder.
Another way to get a close up view of your favorite birds is by keeping a
pair of binoculars handy. You’ll be amazed at how binoculars can increase
your enjoyment of birds by bringing the details up close. Whether it’s
identifying birds in the field or enjoying an afternoon of watching birds at
your feeder, we have a mini, compact or standard size binocular for you.
