Birdwatching Program at Buckham Library in Faribault When my Dad was retired he took up a hobby that surprised me a little. He became a birdwatcher. Growing up I don't recall him ever talking about birds. As he grew older he enjoyed them more and more. He had a bird book by his recliner in the TV room which had a nice window where he set up multiple feeders to attract multiple species of birds. Now that I have grown older I think I know why Dad enjoyed watching birds. He was a very devoted Christian man who knew his Bible. There are many references to birds in there.
