Inside Birding

Besides being all about Oklahoma history, we're also into just plain old finding something to do here in our great state. One of our favorite things to do is birding.

Now I'm more of a backyard bird watcher. I enjoy looking out into our yard to see all birds who visit. A few of our friends are big into birding Oklahoma. They'll travel deep into Oklahoma's wilderness areas, camera ready, and capture wildlife like only Oklahoma has.

This brings me to Inside Birding. Inside Birding is a new web series by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. These are the same great people who help run the Great Backyard Bird Count we participated in earlier this year.

Whether you’re new to birding or a seasoned expert, interested in sharpening your identification skills or wondering how to clean your binoculars, you’ve come to the right place.

On Inside Birding, hosts Chris Wood and Jessie Barry share all of the tools, tips, and techniques that will allow you to start birding like the pros. From where and when to find birds, to the clues that will help you identify them, Inside Birding provides the information that you need to make the most of your birding experience. So check it out and take your birding to the next level.
