New Resource: Finding Birds in Guilford County

Want to know where the good birding spots are, how to get there, and what you can expect to find? Take a look at our newly updated Finding Birds in Guilford County. PBC member Dennis Burnette researched and produced this guide to 28 publicly-accessible sites across the county, primarily parks and preserves. The description of each site includes GPS information and driving directions; background information on the site; recommended viewing locations; and a discussion of species often found there. In addition to the individual site descriptions, the guide includes driving directions for Dennis’ “Tour of the Greensboro Lakes,” a day-tour of spots to look for waterfowl, along with land birds near the water’s edge.

Finding Birds in Guilford County is a great resource for visitors and newcomers to the area, as well as residents looking for a refresher on the county’s birding opportunities. Go to the Resources tab or click here.
