New: You can now listen to my articles!!

Welcome back for another article to help you settle in and enjoy retirement. I recently wrote an article about birdwatching and how observing and feeding birds is a great hobby to pursue individually or as a family. Want to give it a try? Let’s dive a little deeper into how to get started on this hobby.

Every year in the Fall, I get excited once again to start feeding and observing birds. I have been enjoying this hobby for over 50 years, however, I never seem to grow tired of it. I normally don’t feed birds in the summer, but I still continue to observe them around the yard and also anywhere I travel. This gives me a break and helps to save money in the summer months. Birdwatching is a great hobby and feeding birds gives you a great opportunity to see the birds up close and personal. As I wrote in my first article regarding embracing retirement, hobbies are crucial to the success of your retirement.
