Camping is a wonderful time to add birding to the family adventure. Here are a few simple tips to help you and your family get started:


Use a Field Guide


Find an acceptable field guide to identifying birds to take with you camping, or when visiting the Grand Lake OK area. Also, information pamphlets offer some useful details.


Take Binoculars


Binoculars are a needed item to truly enjoy identifying birds. The birding tool will allow you to see more clearly the details of the bird. Binoculars come in a variety of sizes and the cost will vary.


Birdcalls


Learning the birdcalls of various birds is a plus. Usually, you will hear the birds before actually seeing them. Knowing the birdcalls will also help with the identification process.


Journaling


A great idea is to create journal entries of you and your family’s experience. Notes can be taken regarding the size, colors, markings of the bird. Add the location and other notes as desired.
