Natural History Wanderings

National Parks Conservation Association recently published a list of the best national parks for birding. Number one was Pt. Reyes National Seashore.

Point Reyes is the total package for a birder. It’s got incredibly varied habitat, including grassland, forest, beach, freshwater ponds and open ocean views. Plus, it’s at the end of a large peninsula, which means it can act as a funnel for wayward birds traveling down the coast. It all adds up to more than 400 bird species, the most of any national park in the system.

Check out the list to see the rest and information about birding at each park.  Get Your Binoculars: The 25 Best National Parks for Birding · National Parks Conservation Association
