Viewing the birds in the winter can be tricky if you don’t make an effort to see them.  For any bird watcher, who wants to continue watching and enjoying the birds all winter long, it is important to maintain a bird friendly habitat in your own backyard.  If you choose to do some bird watching in the park, choose a day with good weather and don’t forget to bring along a good pair of binoculars.

• For better viewing in your own backyard, make sure that your bird feeders are placed in areas that are easy to view from inside your home.  You won’t be able to get a good view of the birds without seeing the birds come out to get some food on a cold winter day.  Use a window mounted bird feeder for an extreme close up view of the birds all throughout the day.  The Window Bird Feeder by Droll Yankees  is one of the best window feeders to use for window bird watchers.  This window bird feeder is almost completely clear and has drainage holes to help keep the bird seed fresh.
• If you decide to take your bird watching adventure to the park on a warm, sunny day, a good pair of binoculars are essential for the best viewing.  To catch a glimpse of your favorite winter bird, pick a wooded area near a water.  Birds like to stay close to their shelter and a source of fresh water during the winter.  The Natureview 10x42mm with Roof Prism Binocular is a powerful pair of binoculars that are perfect for any avid bird watcher.  This powerful pair of binoculars is designed to give you sharp, crisp images even in wet or foggy weather.  It is easy to adjust and use and very durable for all of your bird watching adventures.
