This Frugal Date Friday is for the birds! We are going to go bird watching.
Now, if you have never done this before, it may seem lame or borning. Once you do it though, you’ll see how much fun it is. Birds are amazing creatures.
A quote from my husband, “It is quite an experience to hear birdsong and then pull the binoculars to your eyes. You will witness a magnificent creature as if he were right there.”
So yeah, grab some binoculars and head outside. Want the full experience? Take along a bird book guide (this is also a fun tool for homeschooling). For a free option, you can download the free Merlin Bird ID App.
Tips for Bird Watching:
Take a pair of binoculars for each person
Research the best places for bird watching beforehand
Listen for calls and song
If you live in South Carolina, here are some top places to go bird watching.
