Hi! I'm Joe.
New to birding, I'm looking to fully immerse myself in bird culture right away. I'm going birding with a small group of friends on Sunday on the North Shore. Are there any Vancouver birding groups that do regular outings together? If not, would anyone like to create one with me? Where are some of the best areas in town to go? We'll take only pictures and leave only footprints.
What's a good affordable setup with decent range and resolution for taking bird photos? I've seen monocular telescopes set up with camera phones that look good to me. Are they terrible? Is a proper DSLR with long telephoto zoom lens kit the only way to go?
What are your favourite birds in town to watch? Which species have stuck around longer than usual this year due to the warm weather this winter?
Also, how many people do you folks feel is appropriate to have in a group outside while birding during the pandemic?
Let's get something going. Feel free to add me as a friend and message me!
Thanks!
