Description
This is the last year of the New York Breeding Bird Atlas and the Apalachin block is under represented in the dataset. So the Waterman Center and the Naturalists' Club of Broome County are hosting a Birding Blitz at the Waterman Conservation Education Center in Apalachin!
This is an all-day birding event and is open to beginner and experienced birders alike! Learn to identify breeding and nesting behaviors and how to record them through eBird. The event will begin at 10 AM with a presentation on recording protocols and introduction to the breeding bird atlas and the behaviors they look for. Beginner birders will be paired with more experienced birders for the majority of the event.
There will be a mid-day break and birding photography presentation by local expert Steve Brigode at 1 PM!
You are not required to stay for the entire event, but let's try to record as many birds as possible!
