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.
- 5
Bring quality optics — a good pair of binoculars (8x42 or 10x42) makes all the difference in species identification.
