Birding Tips
- 1
Listen for boreal specialties like Boreal Chickadee and Spruce Grouse.
- 2
Check spruce and fir stands for crossbills and other irruptive finches.
- 3
Peak breeding season runs from late May through June for most songbirds.

Scan the canopy edges at dawn for migrating warblers and other songbirds during spring and fall.

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