About Birdwatching
You can always observe and listen to the birds that live in your home town or wherever you are visiting. Many birds live in urban and semi-urban environments, including some that sing exquisite songs, such as the Eurasian blackbird, which has a wide range that includes the largest cities in NorthernEuropeand sings for several months of spring and summer, during its mating season. American robins also sing very pretty and varied songs, though not to the degree that Eurasian blackbirds do, and they are common in manyUScities includingNew York City, particularly in parks. Even protected species are not always hard to spot; for example, if you are visiting the coast ofCalifornia, you are likely to see pelicans and other large sea birds that are not at all reticent to be around people.
