National Geographic’s “Year of the Bird” July Theme: Introduce Children to Birding

Introduce children to nature and build their interest in birds and other wild animals. This month's “Year of the Bird” theme encourages us to take a child on an outdoor adventure, whether it's a walk in the park, a hike in a natural area or a camping trip. Studies show that nature is good for our health, happiness and intelligence by providing improved physical and psychological benefits. Be sure to take your binoculars and camera and share the fun of optics along with the birds you see. You can even become a bird detective!
