An old friend recently came for a visit. An avid birdwatcher, he first identified the melodious creatures that live in the backyard. Next, we went to Golden Gate Park in search of hummingbirds, then to the ocean to watch the sea birds. After a day observing these colorful avians, I can understand the attraction. You can pursue this pastime anywhere; all you need is a guidebook, binoculars and patience. For an excellent introduction to this popular pastime, visit this week’s CoolTool site, Birdwatching.com: http://www.learnthenet.com/english/features/cooltool.htm
