Welcome back to my popular series regarding getting the most from retirement. In this article I highlight birdwatching, another hobby that can bring joy and relaxation to your retirement days. My last story focused on the benefits of biking for seniors. The first article in my series indicated the importance of hobbies among other suggestions that will help you to relax and settle in to an enjoyable retirement.

I have been enjoying birdwatching for 50 years. Those of you who follow me are well aware, and my hope is that you enjoy my articles and I have inspired you to try birdwatching as well. Recently I wrote a story on The Great Blue Heron. This is an example of one of the types of stories I write. I have even been fortunate enough to have a Black-Capped Chickadee eat from my hand, This is the ultimate thrill for a birdwatcher.
