Just published a new video from my latest bird watching hike along the North Carolina Birding Trail at Yates Mill Park in Raleigh, N.C.

With three distinct habitats located in a small area, this park is a great stop if you’ve got a long list but are short on time. Check out the video and then view some of the photo highlights below.

Located just five miles south of downtown Raleigh North Carolina,
Yates Mill is one the best bird watching destinations in the Triangle.

The thing that I love about this place is that
it offers a wide range of varied bird habitats
within the boundaries of a relatively small park.

The trails best viewing opportunities include
a 20 acre lake, swampy- bushy areas, forest lands,
and a wide open farm field.

All of those spots are within a quick 15-20 minute walk from the parking lot.
