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
Check eBird hotspot data before visiting to see recent sightings and what species are being reported.
