Not limiting yourself to birds has the advantage that even if the birding is bad, there will still be something interesting to look at. I know some hardcore birders that only go out during a migration. They're looking just for the exotics, and don't seem to care about the common birds, much less the wildflowers, insects, reptiles, amphibians and mammals that might be out there.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology recently redesigned their public outreach site (includes an online guide):
