What is your Bird Watching Area?

You can watch birds anywhere! Just visualize HALF A BASKETBALL COURT and watch and listen there for TEN minutes only. Can you find any of the 16 target species of birds?

Here are some ideas where you could set up your Bird Watching area:

- in a park (of any size)
- on tree-lined streets
- on a green median strip or traffic island
- in community gardens
- on rooftop gardens
- in yards
- on balcony gardens
- around plants or flowers in pots
- even an area that only has a single potted plant/flower or tree
- and more...

What is Urban Green Space?

We see so much pavement in cities. Green spaces include places that  are unpaved or have earth/soil and plants on top of pavement.
