Phonescoping is the ideal way to combine birding and photography, two pursuits that often conflict with each other. It is a quick way to document and even create beautiful bird imagery when out on birding ventures with others. Birding groups are often appreciative when catching a glimpse such as this green heron on the back of my phone while attached to my scope.
Katherine Koch has been the webmaster of Bird Watcher's Digest since 2004. She spent much of that time "digitally birding," getting to know the birds through posting content, and through that process, she got hooked! She recently moved from Ohio to Texas, where she is reveling in all the new birds she finds in San Antonio.
