Lots of birds, good biking, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Silence.

I guess it depends what kinds of birds one is looking for. <br /><br />I live in the path of the Great Lakes Flyway so I get to see a lot of interesting birds during migration. But I would love to be able to travel specifically to watch birds.Leslie (Under My Apple Tree)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17822229389189435951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-39081493304749832352012-10-19T20:54:14.699+11:002012-10-19T20:54:14.699+11:00Bruny Island is great for lots of reasons...cheese...Bruny Island is great for lots of reasons...cheese, oysters, chocholate, oh yes there are birds too! My family and I were there in January and we didn't go out of our way to see birds particularly, but no-one needs to. There are plenty around all the time, in number and variety. We did see the fairy penguins and shearwater come in, and also shy albatross. Amazing. I was too busy watching to get a good pic. Also birds follow the Spirit of Tasmania, gannets I think, and I fancy they are relatives of those that Captain Coook saw and knew land was close...Swan Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753221018632333066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-35803110226731783222012-10-19T13:58:36.713+11:002012-10-19T13:58:36.713+11:00That sounds good. 50 seems like a doable number, i...That sounds good. 50 seems like a doable number, if a bit challenging. <br /><br />Have you read the biography or autobiography of Phoebe Snetsinger, the world record holder for number of birds sighted? She lived the next town over from me and belonged to the same local nature organization although I never met her. I've read her biography but I was just looking up her name for you and discovered there's a memoir that might be even better coverage of the travel and birds.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.joyweesemoll.com/" rel="nofollow">Joy's Book Blog</a>Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414405931825593371noreply@blogger.com
