A literal decided 10 minutes ago that I wanted to get into bird watching. Figured it would be good for not just me but my 5 year old. He loves all the birds that hang around our house.
Hope you enjoyed the video! I tried giving a few tips you may not hear very often. I'm planning to make more videos talking about specific tips while out in the field and while learning to identify birds in your area. I'll also be doing some birding vlogs now that the snow is finally starting to melt :D
The third tip, go out with an experienced birder, This is the one. It makes all the difference if you will bother to pay attention to what they are telling you. This is how I learned. Also, leave the field glasses down and look at the shape, silhouette, and behavior of the bird.
Going to hijack this older comment to mention that you should look for citizen science bird surveys in your area! That’s how I started and it really ramped up my learning curve. There will almost certainly be experienced birders or naturalists present that can give you oodles of tips.
2:46. I've been in that situation myself. Went to South Africa on holiday, saw a good few birds that I'm only now trying to ID. I have only started to get into birdwatching in the last year, I probably missed so many amazing birds
Im tired of myself for having too many interessts and hobbies, painting, music, the gym, but as a kid i used to love nature and birds and i want to get out of the house and in nature more. I feel like i want to go birding but i feel overwhelmed

I am in a similar situation, having been interested in birds all my life but never really focused on writing down what I saw even though I would go ID a lot of things - so I was able to dig through photos and add Surf Scoter from Alaska, Blue and Gold Macaw from Florida and Laughing Gull from the bahamas, plus a Townsend's Warbler from my yard last Oct, but tough luck for all the other birds from those places plus mexico and canada and I have no idea when I'll get to go back! Everyone who even marginally enjoys bird viewing and identifying should consider recording their sightings for sure
Many don't realise that when you put a list of birds publicly using eBird, you are supplying the list to poachers who will go through that to find the exact bird they want to capture. In countries where enforcement is scarce, we tend to lose our species from indiscriminate reporting that way. No, we birders here don't expose our wild birds this way.
"Go out with as many as different birders possible"... 😭😭😭 As a new south east michigan resident, don't even know anyone to go out on birding with. Wish I was in my childhood when making friends was easy as just going out and hangout with other kids 😭😭
I decided to get into birding an hour ago. Unfortunately, where I live there isn't a lot of green and I don't think there's much to see there. Maybe pigeons.
Do you have family or friends in different areas .there are bird feeders with cameras. For example my mother lives in another state and I have one set up at her house. I get notified anytime a bird pirches
@@StefanoIaniro Thanks! Yes. I'm not really a birder (or maybe not yet) but find it interesting and I saw this bird a lot while I was in Amsterdam and could figure out what it was! So now I'm happy I saw it in your video :D

Speaking of ebird... I'm going to an island this week where there are no recorded bird sightings on ebird. I will probably be the first!
That's awesome! Goodluck. Hope you find some great birds 😀
I feel I'm learning a lot now, but am humbled by other birders' knowledge. Thanks for the tips!
I love your nerdy enthusiasm for birding! new birder here.. helpful info. thank you!
Hahaha, glad you enjoy!

This video is very good I am also Birder and I am from India
I liked the life list tip. I'll start right away. :D It doesn't hurt that I'm really into lists and organising data & statistics. 🤓
Yay bird nerds for life!
2:46. I've been in that situation myself. Went to South Africa on holiday, saw a good few birds that I'm only now trying to ID. I have only started to get into birdwatching in the last year, I probably missed so many amazing birds
Thank you! I have all kinds of “birding for beginners” tips that I was confused! This video helped make things focused so I can just start!
Wow! I was looking for a channel about birding and wildlife photography for so long. This the is perfect place. Love your works.

I hope soon to receive P1000, first idea was to take random photos. But later realised I can list birds in area. Really interesting 😊
I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
Good tips! I'm going to take up birding this year, so good timing too! :)

Thanks for mentioning this, I know eBird does obscure sensitive bird species though but it's still good to keep in mind
Thank you Stefano!!!
I take photos as a new birder to help ID some birds later. Fortunately they can be added even after you have closed the list.
I like the birdwatching
great tips
Thank you so much 🙂
@@StefanoIaniro your welcome 😊
great ideas
"Go out with as many as different birders possible"... 😭😭😭

“Follow Thomas” has a nice channel
Wish eBird would put pic by the name of the bird. ( Visual learner)
Hi, Stefano. How do you use eBird to record the birds you see?
Hey! If you search the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, they have a bunch of videos with introductions to ebird and how to use it. They're super helpful 🙂
@@StefanoIaniro Thanks, Stefano.
You just need to come to india 🇮🇳 , We have some of the best Birding locations out here !
What's the bird at 0:50?
That is a Eurasian Coot. Very cool birds. If you Google them, check the size of their feet!
@@StefanoIaniro Thanks! Yes. I'm not really a birder (or maybe not yet) but find it interesting and I saw this bird a lot while I was in Amsterdam and could figure out what it was! So now I'm happy I saw it in your video :D
@@brechtmachiels That's amazing! Glad I could help. There was a lot in France, too, when I visited. I hope you give birding a try sometime soon :D
Im here because i just walked outside and saw a cardinal and thought "I'm gonna get into bird watching." 😅
