Johnston said these birds would move into parts of Nebraska, Wyoming and Canada
Commenting about the birds that inhabit Kansas, Johnston said there are about 400 species across the state in Douglas County. One might be able to see them as spring leaves the spring months, he said.
Johnston suggested that persons interested in birdwatching might do three things. First, one should begin to associate with wildlife such organizations as the Kansas Ornithologist Society.
Second, a person should buy several books concerning the study of birds. One, he suggested, is "Davidson's" A Guide to the Birds."
And third, Johnston said, go watch the birds. One can make a hobby of birdwatching while riding his bicycle while riding his bicycle, he said.
Balfour said that he found the pastime of birdwatching relaxing and that it didn't cost much money.
