Birding Tips
- 1
Visit at dawn for peak songbird activity before crowds arrive.
- 2

- 3
Check for wintering sparrows in brushy edges from November through February.
- 4
Check eBird hotspot data before visiting to see recent sightings and what species are being reported.

Bring quality optics — a good pair of binoculars (8x42 or 10x42) makes all the difference in species identification.
