The Traveling Birder

10,000 Birds

I mention these trips because, along with other trips and experiences closer to home, they inform my research into my future birding travel. For example, not much can beat the experience of seeing a Bald Eagle scare up thousands of Snow Geese at Sacramento NWR. Your prior trips will inform your birding travel planning too.
