Birding Hotspots Map for Birders in the United States

Birdwatching can take place anywhere and at any time – from deep within an ancient forest on a birdwatching expedition, to a surprise visit on an afternoon hike, or even through a window during the day.

We’ve gathered some of the best places to birdwatch in the United States so that we can share these birding “hotspots” with you. Click on the map above to see our top 10 favorite birding locations in the United States. Have you been to all of them?

Now’s your chance to tell us about where you go to birdwatch! Tell us where you love to bird, and if you have one, share your favorite birding story from that location.
