An effective way to get pleasure from chook watching is by going to festivals—they’re organized to get you to nice birding spots at a good time of 12 months, and so they’re an effective way to fulfill individuals. Consultants and locals enable you to see extra birds, and also you’ll meet different guests who share your interest. When you’re there, hold a watch out for Cornell Lab representatives, as we do attend a number of festivals annually.
To record your competition on this web page, please contact our promoting supervisor:Susanna Lawson svl22@cornell.edu
