Winter Wonders and Warmth: A Sterling Adventure

Exploring the Avian Winter Wonderland

Winter, a time when birds supposedly migrate for warmer climates, but not in Logan County! Here, over 340 bird species are donning their winter jackets and sticking around. Join us on an undercover journey into the world of winter birdwatching – grab your binoculars, our birder's checklist, and delve into the avian spectacle. Don't forget your backstage pass to the show – the seasonal bird observation bar chart.
