You can find even more information on the BC Bird Trail website. Check out their Field Notes Blogs for inspiration and birding tips. Each Trail’s webpage updates seasonally with birds that are in the area (including the Prince George Trail Page), giving a great chance for birders to keep an eye out for certain species. New to the hobby or not comfortable identifying birds on your own? Drop in to Books and Company and pick up one of the many bird identification guides they have to offer. Or get a helping hand with the Merlin Bird ID app, which has both a visual identification guide and a Sound ID function to pick out which species around you are singing.
