While the pandemic has limited human travel, it has been great for birds, with less pollution and less cacophony of humans. Let’s explore the birds that wing their way through Kern County.

There are 3 types of migrants in spring:

• Our wintering residents leaving for breeding grounds in the far north
• Birds just migrating through without stopping for more than a day to refuel on their way to breeding grounds
• And lastly birds that arrive on their breeding territory in the variety of habitats in Kern County.
