Locations

From Birding Wiki

These are location guides strictly from a birding point of view. I'm not going to attempt the wealth of potential tourist locations, either on- or off- the beaten track, or list good places to eat. What I'm trying to do is develop some "user" documentation of places to bird in the NYC metro area.

You should be aware that there are regional books that cover the same sort of issues - this site does not aim to replace these, because they are often invaluable resources. This site aims to supplement these via the online medium. I have planned birding trips in the past based almost solely around online resources, and NYC seems somewhat underserved in this regard. Like my original Central Park Birding site I've attempted to relieve this deficiency by providing my own material.

As far as the books are concerned, I own:

Both of which are excellent books and well-worth owning. I personally don't have much use for local field guides (birds of New York City or whatever titles they go under). Just pack the Eastern version of Sibley instead
