| Discover the diversity of Shawnee Forest- BIRDS! Over 100 species of birds nest in Shawnee, and May is by far the best month to enjoy them. Not only are the males looking resplendent in their breeding plumage, but the air is filled with their songs. Of particular interest are the Neotropical birds; species that winter in the tropics of Central and South America, and return to nest in northern haunts like Shawnee. Included in this colorful lot are species like Hooded and Cerulean warblers, Scarlet Tanagers, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak. With over 60,000 acres of forest, they occur in abundance, too. Many of our guides know birds well and can help participants find interesting species. Sometimes one of the biggest issues with exploring Shawnee's forests is deciding where to look- at neat flowers on the ground, or colorful birds in the trees! |
