Sites
Cooks Forest - Birding
Cook Forest hosts some excellent bird watching. The trees of this ancient forest make this an ideal breeding location for many birds. In fact, this old-growth forest has many trees that are 200 to 350 years old and 200 feet tall, making it 45 times more likely that you'll find many species of warbler and other birds than in other habitats.
