Peak birding season; highest diversity

Water sources bustle with activity

Afternoon storms create dramatic skies and photographic opportunities

Autumn (Mar–May)

Raptors are active, and days are cooler

Great time for quiet birding with fewer visitors

Winter (Jun–Aug)

Resident species more visible

Bare trees make it easier to spot perching birds
