2). Best Places to See Wildlife in Nature By : Emma Snow
Copyright 2006 Emma Snow While a zoo definitely has it's place in animal watching, it doesn't compare to seeing animals in their own natural habitat. After a recent visit to Yellowstone National Park, this felt especially true for me. A traffic jam caused by young buffalo calves and their mothers crossing the road is an experience not to be missed.

4). Get The Most Out Of Your Camera. (Part 1). By : TJ Tierney
Did you ever see an image where only a small part of it is sharp? Using the aperture ring correctly can maximise the artistic look of your image. Not only does it determine the depth-of-field, it also has the power to direct the human eye. The human eye is instinctively drawn towards noticeable points of an image. These are usually the sharpest and most important parts of an image.

5). Get the Best Campsite This Weekend By : Karin Manning
Copyright 2006 Karin Manning Imagine enjoying a beautiful peaceful sleep in your ten only to be woken up at 5am by a man on a power mower mowing the grass on the adjacent golf course. This actually happened to 200 campers at a campground in Washington, some of whom have claimed “It was our worse camping experience in the USA so far.” His response was, “this is the only time that there are no golfers around”! (Lucky for them, I’d say!) This proves one thing.

12). Serengeti Safari - Memories and Miscommunications By : Nola L. Kelsey
The scene before me could be matched nowhere else on earth. Parched yellow grass spread out before us as far as the eye could see - broken only by the occasional umbrella tree and a few hundred thousand migrating wildebeest forming a dusty, thin gray line on the horizon to the north. As the sun pounded down from overhead, heat vapors danced up from the ground.

13). Pond Weed Clean-Up, A Neighborhood Effort By : Dale Orlando
After answering several inquiries regarding our success at eradicating weeds from Sluice Pond and raising funds to establish weed control, I thought an article describing a successful process would help others in Massachusetts and New England. A brief history-Sluice Pond is a 50+ acre body of water with approximately 165 homes that abut the pond. Sluice Pond, fed by the Cedar Brook and natural springs, is one of five ponds located 10 miles Northeast of Boston that meander in a “Strawberry Necklace” through Lynn, MA to the Atlantic.

16). Zoo Use 101 By : Nola L. Kelsey
Do you truly see animals at the zoo? A while back, on a visit to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Santa Monica, I overheard a tour guide say the average time spent looking at a work of art in the museum is five to ten seconds per piece. At first this shocked me. At the time I was standing entranced next to Van Gogh’s ‘Irises.’ I envisioned museumgoers not even breaking their stride as they blew past.

17). Attracting Birds To Your Garden By : Justin Brown
Firstly, birds will be attracted by the geographic location of your garden. To find out which birds are in the geographic area of your garden at the moment, you will have to consult specialty magazines and documentations. Maybe even the weather guy can provide some information regarding this aspect although this is not always true. Libraries and book stores have books based on migration, on the roads that some bird species take to get to their summer or winter residence.

Why do birds appeal to us ? Most people enjoy the sight of birds, even people who have never been active birdwatchers.

A bird feeder is a small container usually shaped like a cylinder used to attract birds to a garden. They vary in shape but are often designed to be tall and slender and to hang from a tree branch. The container is filled with birdseed and usually has a grill or small opening through which the bird can get the food.
