Birdwatching can be a very fun and relaxing activity. After a long and tiring day, seeing some birds will cheer you up. Seeing a flock of Bushtits or watching a Red-tailed Hawk flying in the sky always lifts me up. Birdwatchers should always have a pair of binoculars. They do not have to be expensive binoculars. A decent pair of binoculars can cost around $40 on Amazon. Some birdwatchers also like to take pictures of birds. However, cameras are much more expensive than binoculars, so you should see if you really want to become an amateur photographer before getting one. You can also see if you can borrow a camera from someone to try out photography. A good phone can also take good pictures, especially landscape photos. So you may not have to get a camera just to start photography.
