Everything and Anything

I’ve always loved the outdoors, ever since my dad took me with him on little hiking trips through the wilderness.  While I do like hiking, I’ve never been so much interested in excursions as I have about appreciating nature.  When I was seventeen, my dad bought me a pair of sports optics; a standard set of binoculars.  I used them for a long time to spot wildlife, and became interested in bird watching in my twenties.  Now I spend a couple days every month out in the wilderness investigating rare birds.I’ve now witnessed a lot of amazing birds in their native habitats; birds most people have never seen like horned owls.  It’s great not having to see these birds caged in the zoo, and viewing animals in their native habit gives a whole new appreciation for nature.  I think for parents too, getting your children interested in nature at a young age is a great idea!
