- Join a bird watching group. Ask lots of questions.
- Read about birds. Most people enjoy spotting birds more when they know something about them.
- Learn about the habitat before you go. What draws the birds there?

- Be kind to the birds. Look but don’t touch.
- Have fun!
To many joyful beach experiences!
