The Driftwood Birding Station is home to an incredible variety of birds, and some visitors have become familiar faces to those who spend time here. These “frequent fliers” are the species most often spotted at the station, delighting birders with their colors, songs, and personalities. Keep an eye out for these regulars on your next visit!
