Very insightful report. Lake County is a bird watchers dream and is an International Bird Area (IBA) recognized hot spot and important migration path on the Pacific Flyway. According to the Outdoor Recreation Economy report from The Hill, the industry generates $887 billion annually. Of that, The National Audubon Society says that bird watching is a $41 billion contribution to local and national economies. Bringing recreational tourism, especially the bird-watching industry, to Lake County is a win for animals and the County. Great report.
