Birding Tips from Ranger Tom
- Be familiar with the birds that are in season, but be ready for the unexpected.
- Bring a pair of good binoculars.
- Use a good field guide that you are familiar with.
- Use your ears as well as your eyes to locate birds.
- Always keeps the bird’s well-being in mind. If you change the bird’s behavior, you are too close!
- Bird watch in the morning and the evening. Birds are most active at these times.
