Birding Tips

1
Visit at dawn for peak songbird activity before crowds arrive.
2
Check flowering trees and berry-producing shrubs for seasonal migrants.
3
Peak breeding season runs from late May through June for most songbirds.
4
Peak spring migration runs mid-May in this region — plan visits around this window for maximum species diversity.
5
Bring quality optics — a good pair of binoculars (8x42 or 10x42) makes all the difference in species identification.
