Before you ever open a field guide, you already have the most important birding tool in existence — your own curiosity. In this opening module we start exactly where you are. No binoculars required. No Latin names. No prior knowledge assumed. Just you, a window or a garden or a park bench, and the birds that are already living their extraordinary lives right beside you. By the end of this module you'll look at a bird — any bird — and know exactly where to start. Simple. Practical, addictive.
