( 3 / 6500 )Mammoth Birding
Whether you’re an avid lifelong birder striving to join the 7,000 club or a beginner hoping to successfully identify your first 7, the Eastern Sierra offers a diverse population of bird species for all to enjoy. From the 200 mph swooping Peregrine Falcon to the majestic flute-like tones of the Swainson’s Thrush, more than 300 species of birds have been identified in the area. Visit Mammoth in sunny California to partake in an age-old activity that allows you to roam the natural beauty of forests, meadows and lakes while meeting some new friends that are graced with the gift of flight. For a complete list of residential or migratory birds of the area, visit www.eaaudobon.org.
Engage your other senses while birding by ear! Learn how to listen. Is it high pitched? Is it repetitive? Is it nasal or shrill sounding? Is it actually a song or is it a series of calls with different tones, pitches and patterns? One bird or a group? These questions help when learning to identify the species of our singing winged friends.
What you need and need to know!
The beauty of birding is that you can get started right away with no experience and it is inexpensive.
1)Binoculars. It’s best for each person to have their own set, but you can certainly share by passing them along once you’ve spotted a bird of interest. As you progress with your experience as a birder you will begin to recognize flight patterns, like with the hawk family, then you can zoom in with your glasses for a better look. There is plenty to see with the naked eye, and of course you can bird by ear as you wait your turn.
2)Field Guide. A local bird guide with maps will help you identify birds as well as the areas to locate them. The handiness of a smartphone allows you to download apps that serve as guides which fit easily into your pocket. Many of them also have sounds added in so that you can hear samples of some species of birds. You may also want to visit here as you make your decision on which locales to visit based on your interests.
3)Camera and Notebook. A picture is worth a thousand words. Nowadays you may have a high quality camera built into your phone. Either way this is a great way to keep record, along with a notebook, as you add to your checklist of sightings. Also, if you get some spectacular shots, please share with us!
4)Go early! The best birding time is in the morning. The Conservation Open Space Area (COSA) offers bird walks on the 2nd Saturday of every month-for more info visit www.esaudobon.org.
5)Don’t forget the essentials. Sunscreen, lip balm, hat and water.
Birding is a great solo experience, but don’t be afraid to connect socially and ask some of the more experienced birders for advice and tips. As always, have fun! Afterwards, if you have an entertaining “Adventure Story” that you’d like to share with us, please pass it along and we’ll add it to our growing list!
At the end of your day stay with us at MammothRentalByOwner.com for a goods nights rest. Want more information give us a call at (818)883-2488
