Yesterday I joined the Brooklyn Bird Club for ourannual trip to Western New Jersey, specifically HyperHumus, a relatively recently discovered hot spot. Itstarted out as a nice winter morning when we arrivedat the site at 7:30 A.M., progressed to Spring around10:00 A.M., and reached early summer by 10:15.
Seems you can now go bird watching via the Internet. Ihaven't been able to test it out yet (20 userlimit apparently) but this is certainly cool.Personally, I can't imagine it replacingactually being out in the field by any small amount.On the other hand, I've always found it quitesad to meet senior birders who are no longer able tohold binoculars steady or get to the park. I canimagine this might be of some interest to them. Atleast one elderly birder did a big year on TV, afterhe could no longer get out so much. This certainlytops that.
