BIRDS
Bird Species of Wrightwood
We have great opportunities for observing birds in Wrightwood - including full sets of binoculars for each student, identification guides, feeding stations, and a large diversity of species. We record the data we collect each week and now have a good record of what the common species of birds are here, as well as more rare sightings, and dates of appearance of migratory birds.
BIRD LINKS: If you're crazy about birds (like we are!), here are some great websites that you may want to check out!
