Why You Should Try Birding

If you are looking for a hobby you should check out this video where I recap 9 reasons why birding is such a great hobby!

I am not affiliated at all with eBird or the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, it is just one of the best free ways to track birding stats that I wanted to use as an example to educate.

Birding is an incredible hobby that I have only recently discovered. I wanted to make this quick video to share some of the reasons why I love birding, and why you might also love it. It's my goal to introduce birding to all sorts of people, and I hope this might be the introduction that leads you to try it out!

My birding gear can all be found on my website!
