Otherwise, I go to Bad Kreuznach for the weekend. Both places offer birding in typical German/northern European woodland, maquis, field, and meadow. I have seen rarities around Bad Kreuznach, including a Hoopoe, and once, a few years ago in January, a Snowy Owl! Common birds in both Ansbach and Bad Kreuznach are Great Spotted Woodpeckers, several species of finches and titmice, kites, nuthatches, treecreepers, occasional Hen Harriers, cormorants (Kreuznach only), sawbills (Kreuznach only), Gray Herons, and numerous others. I've only been in Ansbach since the end of January 2008, and already I've discovered a wood containing at least one pair of Black Woodpeckers (Dryocopus martius), one of my favorite birds in Europe, and not that frequently seen. I am American, but can speak enough German to get by.
