Birding Tips
- 1
Listen for vocalizations to locate canopy-dwelling warblers and vireos.
- 2
Check forest edges and clearings for flycatchers and thrushes.
- 3
Visit during mid-May for peak warbler migration.
- 4
Consider purchasing an annual parks pass if you plan to visit multiple times.
- 5
Check tide tables before visiting — low tide exposes mudflats that attract the most shorebirds.
