GORHAM â When out-of-town bird-watching enthusiasts dressed in camouflage and carrying long-lens cameras drove into town on Sunday to see flocks of Bohemian waxwings eating crab apples, at least one local resident suspected them of being domestic terrorists.
The New Hampshire Audubon s Rare Bird Alert for Jan. 4, which was reposted by a member of the NHBirds Google Groups page (not Govatski), mentioned a sighting of Bohemian waxwings in Gorham.
The birders were seen on Main and Mechanic Streets.
âA Mechanic Street resident saw some folks in camo with long-lens cameras walking down the street,â said David Govatski of Jefferson, a retired WMNF forester and avid birder who posts sightings online on NHBirds and eBird Hotspot Explorer.
As for binoculars they are helpful but not mandatory, Reimer noted, though Aversa pointed out binoculars can be handy since you never know what bird you could see when least expecting.
“It is difficult to appreciate the subtle beauty of birds without being able to see them up close,” said Aversa.
There are numerous options for less than $100, Doiron noted. Reimer said many lean towards the 7x power binoculars, while Lindquist recommends 8x30 or 8x40 power binoculars.
More important than the assistance of guides and binoculars, however, is simply using your eyes and ears.
“Start by looking at what’s out your window, in your backyard, or on your feeder, and go from there,” said Lindquist. “Visit the harbor and see what s paddling around in the winter. Take a hike in the state park or in one of the dozens of nature preserves this area is blessed with. Keep your eyes and ears open, find a bird, and really focus on observing it.”
