I´ve been quite interested in birds for many years, but recently it seems like I am taking it more and more serious. Phoebe Snetsinger´s Birding on Borrowed Time, which I mentioned the other day, is for the moment playing an important role in this I think. This morning I woke before dawn, and wrapped in several blankets I sat out on the terrace, birding. With me I had my camera, a pair of binoculars and the old bird book which belongs to the cabin. It is a second edition, and it came out in 1971. Ever since the cabin was new (1976), my father has used it to make a note of the date he first saw different types of birds, and Terje and I have continued this tradition.
I posted this photo both on instagram and on facebook this morning, and it amazes me how many people still have this book. And not only friends here in Norway. It must have been a well known book.
We did a hike after breakfast, I with a fairly good pair of binoculars around my neck, and I did manage to spot both a cormorant and an eagle among other, more common birds.
A good birding day :-)
