Birdwatching Open
Many birds migrate along
fairly predictable routes known as flyways.
These follow major rivers, coastlines, and mountain ridges. We have
divided our “Best of” list along these flyways to account for regional
variation. The number following each golf course represents the
number of species sighted.
