Whether you are planning a short day trip to a local park oran extended trip to a nearby wild bird sanctuary, youneed a good plan.
If you want to search for a specific bird, maybe for your lifelist, you will need to do some research.
Use your fieldguide for habitat information and possible locations to begin yoursearch. Then take a look at the bird checklists provided by many wild life sanctuaries. Once you'venarrowed your search area, plan your travel, get your birdinggear together and Go Birding!
If you're simply looking for a place to go bird watchingwithout an intended target, you still need a plan. You will need to researchthe location instead of a specific bird. You will need maps, birdchecklists (if available) weather conditions, etc.
