Birding at the Garden

Posted in Video, Wildlife on June 3 2011, by Rustin Dwyer

The Garden is an oasis for birds and birders alike.

We talked to some visitors and staff about their favorite birds and why they love birding at the Garden. Take a look, and then tell us (by leaving a comment): What is your favorite bird? Have you had a great birding experience at the Garden?

Want to learn more about birding at the Garden? Then join Debbie Becker for one of her free, weekly Saturday bird walks! To join the walk, meet at the Reflecting Pool near the Leon Levy Visitor Center before 11 a.m.

Great video!

My favorite bird to photograph is without a doubt, the red-tailed hawk. On March 4, 2011, I had one of the most amazing encounters with a young red-tail on Azalea Way right before it meets the Stone Mill Road. He let me get within 15 feet of him, where I shot this.

I’ll never forget those eyes looking right into me. I LOVE my early-mornings ground pass!
