Birding: according to Encarta
"Birding, also known as bird watching, activity of observing and
identifying birds in their natural environment for personal enjoyment
or for educational purposes. Birders learn to recognize the
distinctive feathers, colors, and structure of various bird species,
as well as their calls, characteristic behaviors, and habitats. In the
United States some 47 million people participate in birding, making it
one of the most popular of all outdoor recreational activities."
    The hobby of birdwatching is enjoyable and relaxing for both the
individual as well as for the whole family or with friends. Here in Highland
County, we can be thankful in that our county is one of the best birding counties
in the state. The top three birding site in the county are

(1) The Highlands Sanctuary and they have a good Birding Checklist.

(2) Rocky Fork State Park across from the camping
area there is a bird blind great for observing many waterfowl and
wading birds.

(3) Paint Creek State Park and along Rattle Snake Creek.

The very best Birding site is right out the kitchen window.
