About Greensboro Birds

Greensboro Birds regales you semi-daily with tales of amateur birdwatching in North Carolina's beautiful Piedmont Triad region. We're "microbirders," preferring the challenge (and ease) of birding close to home.

Rare Bird Sighting

Confirmed by Cornell, this Oregon-race Dark-eyed Junco was spotted in our yard on February 21, 2008! The Oregon junco is usually found in the western half of the United States.
