Bird Watching With DealDash

Bird watching can be a fun and relaxing hobby. Read on to get some information about how to get started.

Developing a new hobby often costs a bit to get started, and bird watching is no exception. Unless the only birds you are interested in looking at are ducks, pigeons, and chickens, then I suggest that you get yourself a pair of binoculars.  There are many different brands and magnifications of binoculars with varying prices. The experts suggest getting 7-power or 8-power binoculars—they’re a nice mix of magnification while still allowing you a wide enough view that your bird won’t be constantly hopping out of your image. DealDash often has binoculars up for auction. Check out the link here and you can set an alert by clicking “Alert Me”, and DealDash will email you when they are available.

The next item that you will be extremely helpful for you to get is a field guide. That way when you see a new and interesting bird you can easily look it up while you are out in the field. I find it much easier to thumb through a book on the go rather than to try to look it up with my smart phone. Really, once you pull the smart phone out to look up a bird you are probably going to check your email, your Facebook, and DealDash and miss the next bird flying by. You can get different field guides depending on where you are located, there are books that cover the Eastern United States, Western United States, and some that cover the whole country.

If the thought of lugging along a book doesn’t appeal to you, you could always bring a small waterproof camera with you so you can document the bird on the go. Then later when you’re at home you can look it up online. This is a nice compromise between being tempted by your smart phone and having to carry a book with you. DealDash often has small waterproof digital cameras up for auction. Just click this link right here and it will take you to the upcoming camera auctions.

I hope that these tips helped you a little bit when thinking of taking up your new hobby of bird watching. DealDash has these great items and more every single day of the week, 24 hours per day. Go take a look! Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
