Description:

Birding is the official term for bird watching. Birders head out into forests, fields, marshes, shores, and parks to find beautiful birds. This site provides helpful tips for amateur birders and links to numerous regional birding pages. There, you can find checklists of birds you can expect to see and often natural history backgrounds on these native or migratory birds.

How You Can Use This Source:

Get information on birding in your region of the USA. You can even hook up with a birding club and go out with experienced birders who have well-honed identification skills.
Even if they're not in your area, look at the Featured Birding Spots to see some pictures of special places frequented by birds.
At the bottom of this page is an index of other places within the GORP site to visit. In this summer season, there's no better place to visit than the Great Outdoors!
