Birding Tips
- 1
Listen for boreal specialties like Boreal Chickadee and Spruce Grouse.

Check spruce and fir stands for crossbills and other irruptive finches.
- 3
Peak breeding season runs from late May through June for most songbirds.

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