Wife Discovers Interest in Bird Watching in Cape May
Posted on Jan 20, 2010 under Animals, Travel | No CommentCarol had heard that he could experience some of the greatest birding opportunities of his life at Cape May, New Jersey. So, he finally convinced his wife to go with him and last summer they spent two full weeks in one of the hotels Cape May. His wife Bonnie enjoyed the beautiful afternoons on the beach and actually developed an interest in Carol’s fascination with the different bird species. This is something that she just couldn’t understand before and always thought her husband was a bit odd, for being so obsessed with the migratory bird populations and their habits. However, finding herself in a more receptive mood their on the beautiful island paradise, she listened to his endless chatter and even found herself paying attention and taking an interest.
Determining bird species and following their migration patterns had been a hobby/quickly turned passion of Carol’s for about five years. He had always been interested in birds, though and experience with a work associate five years ago really inspired him to pursue it. Bonnie bought him a book that year for his birthday and it turned out to be one of the best guides he could get. Of course he thought that meant his wife supported his hobby and had even taken an interest in it. It couldn’t be further from the truth.
However, as they watched the birds and Carol explained the species to Bonnie that summer, she actually began to try and do it on her own. The next morning Carol disappeared for twenty minutes and returned to present Bonnie with a binocular harness. Bonnie wasn’t sure what to do with it, but Carol explained that he was going to buy her her own set of binoculars, but instead thought she should pick them out herself. He would go with her and they could get her some that afternoon, and Bonnie was actually very excited. She even tried on her brand new harness.
