National Parks are among the best places to watch birds. Nearly every imaginable bird habitat, from arctic tundra to tropical rainforests, are represented in our National Parks. National Parks provide critical breeding, migratory stop-over and wintering habitat for a great variety of birds. Indeed, over 40 National Park Service sites have been designated as "Globally Important Bird Areas" by conservation organizations. This website provides links to individual park's bird websites.
