An effective way to take pleasure in hen watching is by going to festivals—they’re organized to get you to nice birding spots at a good time of yr, they usually’re an effective way to satisfy individuals. Consultants and locals allow you to see extra birds, and also you’ll meet different guests who share your pastime. Whilst you’re there, maintain a watch out for Cornell Lab representatives, as we do attend a number of festivals annually.
To checklist your competition on this web page, please contact our promoting supervisor:Susanna Lawson svl22@cornell.edu
