I got involved in birdwatching
several years ago. It’s fascinating to look at a small, drab bird with the
naked eye, and then see how many beautiful colors it has when you look at it
with binoculars. And there are other benefits as well.
Birdwatching is a great way to sharpen
your eye and train your reflexes. You get used to spotting anomalous bumps in
the foliage; and when you see a bird start to fly, you can grab the binoculars
and track it. It’s actually a pretty tricky maneuver, since the birds fly so
fast.
It’s a lot like shooting: All of
the thrill, but with none of the noise. And it’s a great way to keep your brain
sharp.
