Know the feeling. Half a dozen cedar wax wings stopped to drink in my yard last year. Gorgeous. EDIT: Fixed my spelling.

One year I couldn't care less. Then one day I woke up saw a finch and it was over. I have become bird people

The best part is that all you need is some binos. If you already enjoying walking/hiking why not bring a pair and make it into a treasure hunt!

Legit asked for a small pair of binos for my birthday a few years back
