Bird watching with Dad

Almost everything that I did with my dad was fun, exciting, and interesting and bird watching was no different.

When my vision was not nearly enough to see the birds, dad did my bird watching for me as I sat beside him. He would describe each bird to me as they passed within visual distance and I had so much fun trying to visualize them. I had no trouble entering into a world of my own. A world where dad's calm and gentle voice did the narration; he described everything to me and did not leave out any details. He even added his own sense of dry humor to it all.

Our bird watching usually took place in the public gardens, in the savanna, and on the beach. Then when I was able to see the birds for myself, Dad continued his commentaries but was always happy whenever I could describe what I saw to him. The most memorable moments for me were being able to see the bright colors of the birds and trying to track their flight. Ah yes! Bird watching with Dad will forever remain in my memory bank.
