Birding Tips
- 1
Visit at dawn for peak songbird activity before crowds arrive.
- 2
Check flowering trees and berry-producing shrubs for seasonal migrants.
- 3
Peak breeding season runs from late May through June for most songbirds.
- 4
This urban green space acts as a migrant trap — birds concentrate here during migration, especially after overnight flights.
- 5
Bring quality optics — a good pair of binoculars (8x42 or 10x42) makes all the difference in species identification.
