The
study of birds has been a fashionable pastime ever since the Victorian Era, and
the term “bird watching” first appeared as the title of a book in 1901.
According to a 2009 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey, today, one in every
five Americans is a birdwatcher. This is defined as anyone who has traveled for
the primary purpose of observing birds or has closely observed and identified
birds around the home.

| Our bird feeding station |
In
our home – my wife and I enjoy watching the birds as do our three cats. When we
were house hunting a few years ago, one important criterion was ‘nature
friendly’ neighborhood - our home backs into protected woodland and there are
many trees, shrubs and plants surrounding us.
Outside my home office, our landscaping team directions were to make it
bird and bee friendly. It is also squirrel, chipmunk, fox, deer, raccoon and
opossum friendly. Bird feeding station
and bird bath are also located there. This also provides excellent
entertainment for our three cats – as they sit by the window, patio doors and
watch nature – also known as ‘Kitty TV’.
