DEC: Please Report
August Sightings of Mute Swans  8/5/08
Every 3 years, DEC conducts a Mid-summer Mute Swan Survey to assess
the population status of this non-native species. This August,
ornithologists, birders, and others are asked to report their sightings
of Mute Swan to the DEC.
NYSYBC -
New York State Young Birders Club
Volunteers
Needed
The New York State Young
Birders Club is not ready to fly on its own yet, but it sure
is showing some pin feathers! The NYSYBC
website is live and growing. And Hope Batcheller’s
online discussion group for young birders, which she established
in 2006, continues to be an active forum. Young birders
who would like to receive and/or contribute to the postings
there are welcome to join
in! |

The most pressing need for NYSYBC is to
fill the position of Adult Coordinator. The individual
who volunteers to take on this essential job will have the opportunity
to make history – to shape and launch the first statewide young
birders club in New York, one of the first such clubs in the
nation. NYSYBC will benefit young birders, bird clubs,
birds, and the environment. Because we need to ensure that
there will be young birders to fill our shoes in the future,
this project represents one of NYSOA’s most important initiatives. There
will be work and responsibility involved, but the potential
rewards are immeasurable!
