How to Look
Last Frontier Council

Experienced watchers will often sit and let the animals come to the. Don’t make yourself conspicuous against the open sky. Move slowly, the less movement the better. Try to cover several distinct areas if possible – a woodland, a march, field, river bank, shore, etc. Make watching a year round activity, each season has its own special surprised for the careful observer.

Why Look?

There is nothing like the thrill of seeing a beautiful bird, identifying an animal you have never seen before and watching your records of sightings grow. From watching birds we discover more about their food and habits and so are able to do more to protect those that need help in order to survive. This is how bird refuges are established – an area where passing birds can rest and feed and where resident birds can next safely. Once you have gotten into bird watching you will want to feed them and attract them to your own yard.

The Tyger
Sam Houston Area Council
by William Blake

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies, Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? What dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears, And water'd heaven with their tears,

Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
