It's snowing again outside, and it's wonderful! Well, to me and a lot of children, it's wonderful．How often have you seen a child running to a window and looking at the falling snow with a big smile?
Now as we grow from children into adults, we often stop playing in the snow and having such fun, since we have to act the tough way instead of showing emotions(情感)like a child's joy．In the cold winter days, if you’re an adult and find yourself alone or with nothing to do, why don't you take up Bird Watching or Birding as it's often called? You basically need four items to do Bird Watching－a digital camera with a zoom(变焦镜头), a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜), a field guide to birds in your area, and a notebook to record your sightings．When you go outside and see a bird, take a photo of it in zoom mode and listen to any sounds the bird makes．
When you finish bird watching for the day, and are back inside, sit down and look through the photos of the birds you took．Placing the photos on the computer makes them a lot easier to see．Record, in your notebook, all of the different species of birds you see, and any other information you want to record, like the types of sounds the birds made．You can look online for many bird watching groups to join, where you can chat and exchange photos with other bird watchers．The next time you’re finding the winter blues approaching because you have nothing to do, gather your items, head outside and do some bird watching．It's a great way to help beat the winter blues．
