Birds to Expect During the Biggest WeekMany thanks to Phil Chaon, Mark Shieldcastle, and Kenn Kaufman for their assistance in creating the following information!
Each bird has a number denoting more or less the likelihood of your seeing the bird on a 4-5 day visit to the area, and birding both alone and with one of the guides on day trips, warbler walks and shorebird walks. Please note that abundance refers to the 7th to 16th of May, and that these may change markedly before and after that date. 1.
