Birding contacts and birdwatching information
Local Birdingpal Contacts
|
Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| I recently retired and have more time for birding than while I worked and, therefore do more of it. The central Kentucky area is home to some 200 - 300 species of birds seasonaly. Within a 2 hour drive of my home are many public and open private parcels of land from the 300,000 acre Daniel Boone National Forest to 5 acre local parks. | ||||||

| I've been birding since I was a kid, about 45 years now. Kentucky has no birds that can't be seen elsewhere in concert with much better birds, so it's not a birding destination per se, except for listers who like to keep state lists and such. As in any location, those of us who live here get to learn the nuances of our local birds and the occasional rarities that turn up. | ||||||
