Blissful Birding

Bear Creek Lake State Park hosts many different bird species throughout the seasons, whether they choose to make their homes in the park or they are just stopping in for a visit. We invite anyone from beginners to full-fledged ornithologists and everyone in-between to discover various bird here at the park. Intended as a self-guided and self-paced activity, we have provided a checklist of species commonly found at the park. This is not an all-inclusive list, so you may see some species that are not listed. You can download the attached file or pick up a printed copy at the park office. Share with us what you find!
