Each January, members visit lakes, rivers and
shorelines to count waterfowl (ducks, geese, swans, loons, grebes,
etc.). NYSOA has conducted this survey annually since 1955,
except for a brief hiatus in 1968-1972. Results are usually
published
late in the year in The
Kingbird.
In most years, more than a quarter of a million birds are tallied.
In addition to being an enjoyable outing, DEC has acknowledged this
to be a useful survey for long-term monitoring of waterfowl populations
wintering in New York. If you would like to participate, or
want more information, contact your regional
compiler or count coordinator, wfc@nybirds.org

Mark your calendar for future
counts!
Each year, the count begins the Saturday
just before Martin Luther King Day, which is the third Monday in January.
