If you would like to find out what birds to expect in a certain place, at a specific time of year you can check out the monthly reports for the state, below, or you can go to a particular county and peruse the sightings reported there (a little farther down).  You can also go to the "Places to bird" section or the County pages and use the eBird links to find out what's been reported in those locations.  Good birding!
