This is the best time of year to be a fledgling birder. All the work is done for you. The returning birds make themselves obvious. They are so anxious to establish territories and attract mates, they barely worry about being watched. Best of all, experienced guides are ready to point them out. May bird walks are fun for everyone, and they’re ideal for inexperienced birders. During a relaxed 90-minute stroll, participants can learn identity tips, bird songs and the importance of habitat. Leaders are familiar with the birds and their locations, and they are eager to share. Ask lots of questions. ~ Bob Duchesne
