Tips for Beginners

["Alan Morris" <>]

Hi Birders,
 I would like to echo somehting Ricchi Coughland said and that is to
encourage new birders to seek advice about binoculars and to start the
course off by teaching people how to use their own binoculars.

Most beginners start with little opera glass type binoculars which are
hopeless for beginners trying to find the birds in the trees and or they
have no idea how to adjust binoculars to make them suitable for their own
use. When I take a "birding for beginners course", I find it necessary to
start the course with a hands on talk about binoculars.
