I. Introduction
Guilford County is unique in North Carolina in several ways that affect birders. Rural and suburban areas surrounding two relatively large cities with plenty of amenities for visitors, five large reservoirs, an excellent road system including two Interstate highways, parks that preserve a variety of habitats, extensive hiking trail systems, and a centrally-located environmental center make it relatively easy to find most of the birds that occur regularly in the county.
