North America's Birding Trails

Adapted from an article by MEL WHITE

BWD's first article on birding trails in September 2001 listed 19 birding trails in the United States and Canada. Since then, at least that number of new trails has created or is being established, and there have been numerous links added to existing trails. The current pace of birding-trail births is quite rapid, and we have compiled this list of all the trails that were not on that original list. Check out a brief history of birding trails in the U.S., and find an in-depth description on each trail.
