Birding Trails

Detailed directions to every stop along the ACBT are provided in a sequential fashion, but it is not necessary to follow the complete loop. Stops within each loop are relatively close to each other and allow for easy coverage in a relatively short time. For those who like to use Global Positioning Systems (GPS), latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates are provided in decimal degrees for every stop. Numbers within brackets imbedded within the stop descriptions represent the mileage between two points [i.e. 1.2]. Many of the stop descriptions list representative bird species that are regular in occurrence or are most likely to be expected depending on the season. Some stops may also note past occurrences of rare species to keep in mind during your visit. In between each are plenty of places to eat, sightsee and soak in the local flavor.
