Birdfreak Team – this is fantastic.
I’ve added the link to the Online Bird Resources page of our WBU store website at http://saratogasprings.wbu.com/content/show/6906
You will also be featured next week in “Zen Nature Lessons – Responsibility” on The Zen Birdfeeder blog.
Great work – THANK YOU.
One suggestion would be to add a blurb (especially when talking about using birdjam) about responsible birding (without lecturing!) Thanks again.

I really enjoyed your guide but I would suggest one change. After looking at feeder birds, I would try to take the kid(s) to somewhere that has really big, easily visible birds. In most areas, this means heading to a lake or a marsh. I’ve never known any child not be fascinated by egrets, herons, ibis, spoonbills, etc.

[...] Birdfreak.com produced an introductory guide to birding with children. These guys always seem to read my mind… when I have a question they just know and post the answer. Amazing. [...]

What a great idea. You almost make me wish I had kids…Almost. *LOL* Actually, when I visit my young nephews in Florida, I always make a point of introducing them to various aspects of nature. From a local lake to the Orlando Science Center, I like to encourage their voyage of discovery.
