An effective way to get pleasure from fowl 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 a good way to fulfill individuals. Specialists and locals make it easier to see extra birds, and also you’ll meet different guests who share your passion. Whilst you’re there, hold an eye fixed out for Cornell Lab representatives, as we do attend a number of festivals annually.
To listing your competition on this web page, please contact our promoting supervisor:Susanna Lawson svl22@cornell.edu
