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
Carry extra water and sun protection; mornings are the prime birding window.
- 4
Check tide tables before visiting — low tide exposes mudflats that attract the most shorebirds.
- 5
Bring quality optics — a good pair of binoculars (8x42 or 10x42) makes all the difference in species identification.
