An outstanding birding location year-round, Jordan Lake seems to attract more stellar rarities, such as Long-billed Murrelet, White-tailed Tropicbird, and Smith's Longspur, than any other local spot. Jordan Lake has 13,900 acres of water to scan, nine state recreation areas, and more Bald Eagles than you can shake a stick at. In addition to the sites on the map, see the article on birding by canoe for several more good spots and the Jordan Game Land map.
