Where to Bird this Month: December
In the woods, half the fun of winter birding is searching for lingering half-hardy species – birds that we usually expect to move south for the winter. A few will stay in the area. Check out any area with open water and food, such as berry-laden bushes and trees, or in areas of weeds and tall grasses.
