Rather than keep wondering about the answers to
these questions, I'm just going to ask. I hope being a novice affords me
the chance to ask questions like these (and I hope to be considered a novice for
years so I can keep asking questions).
First, I am supposing that pre-8 am and around 4:30
pm until dark are, on average, the most effective times to bird. Am I
correct in this assuption?
Secondly, many of the places that people report
sightings at seem to be somewhat residential (well, some of the places people
report anyway). I was in a church parking lot and was using my binoculars
to see some finches a little closer and a gentleman and his dog
(big...big...dog) came over because he thought I was...uh...looking at more than
birds (which was a little embarrassing for both of us). Maybe the answer
is obvious, but how are the rest of you avoiding this? When by a
residential area, are you just not using binoculars? Or do you just face
away from homes?
Thanks,
Brian
