The conference weekend offers attendees various social, educational, and birding activities, including a paper session, NYS Young Birders Club ID Challenge, field trips, vendors, a silent auction, and a banquet dinner.   Friday’s welcome reception will be followed by a presentation by Adriaan Dokter, Cornell Lab of Ornithology Center for Avian Population Studies, titled "BirdCast: A Large-Scale Perspective on Bird Migration."   On Saturday, Peter Kaestner will give the Keynote address, titled “In Search of the Orange-tufted Spiderhunter,” about his quest to find 10,000 different bird species, the first person to reach this milestone. Peter has traveled all over the world during his career as a diplomat, birding everywhere he’s been. A highlight of his birding journey was his discovery of a new species of antpitta in Colombia, subsequently named after him, the Cundinamarca Antpitta (Grallaria kaestneri). Peter has also been an active bird conservationist and was recently awarded the American Birding Association’s Roger Tory Peterson Lifetime Achievement Award.   Visit the conference website for more details. Registration opens April 1, 2025.    NYSOA Objectives The objectives of the New York State Ornithological Association are to document the ornithology of New York State; to foster interest in and appreciation of birds; and to protect birds and their habitats.
