Spring is an excellent time to see the birds that John Audubon described and painted. As they migrate around the country, set out feeders to welcome them along their journey. Watch them from your windows or while walking on a path.
According to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, nearly 45 million people watch birds at last count. They bird watch whether they fly or live far from their homes all year long. For the first time in the bird's natural habitat, many tourists trek around the country to see a species in its natural habitat. So can you. Find out about their habitats and migration patterns.
