BIRD DESTINATION HELP

BIRD DESTINATION HELP

Whether you're traveling to another state or to a neighboring county, bird photographers looking for a great spot to go in a new location have a way of finding out what's going on where you're going. In addition to contacting the local Audubon Society group for info, there is a website with a list of birders who are willing to pass on info about what's there at that time of year as well ashot spots as to where to go look. Some are even willing to meet up with you and show you around the place. The web site www.birdingpal.org has volunteer and professional contacts throughout the United States and about 130 other countries willing to pass on their local knowledge. Go to the web site, click on North America on the map and then click on the state you want info on. A list comes up with people sort by city they live in and an e-mail link to contact them.
