Downtown Dover may not be your first thought for prime birding locations, but it was the place I first grew to love birding when I moved here four years ago.

Pawtuckaway State Park spans 5,500 acres across Deerfield and Nottingham, NH, and features diverse landscapes of mountains, lakes, and oak forests. Known for attracting southern warblers and a wide range of breeding and migratory birds, the park offers outstanding birding along Reservation, Tower, and Round Pond Roads.

The Seabrook Town Forest and Wellfield (as the hotspot is called in eBird) is a great secret birding spot. As of June 12, 2024, a total of 142 species have been seen there. Aside from birds, there is plenty of other wildlife.
