Trip Planning With BWD!
Welcome!
Whoever coined the phrase "anticipation is half the fun" must have been planning a birding trip. With a map of your destination spread out before you -- flanked by field guides, checklists, and wildlife refuge brochures -- it is impossible not to feel the thrill of the chase. Nevermind that a winter storm may be howling around the eaves, you have already mentally leaped ahead to your next birding adventure. When planning your next birding trip, make the most of it; don't just go -- go prepared. And remember, anticipation is half the fun.
