Winter Weekend in the Central Adirondacks! Saturday & Sunday, February 10-11, 2018 Cold weather got you down? Join us February 10-11 for a birding weekend in the central Adirondacks and see some birds that really know how to cope with winter. With a one-in-twenty-year bumper food crop on the trees of the Adirondacks, this is the year to see finches and boreal birds in New York State. The weekend events include two field trips, a birding workshop, and the opportunity to socialize with birders from all over New York State. For those able to arrive in Long Lake by 7 a.m. on Saturday, NYSOA will offer a pre-workshop field trip led by Joan Collins and Matt Young. At 4:00 p.m. Matt Young will give a presentation on "Crossbills of New York: Status and Flight Call Identification." A group dinner will be held at the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake Saturday evening. On Sunday morning, Matt Young, Joan Collins, and Mary Beth Warburton will lead the main field trip beginning at 7:00 a.m. While the workshop is free and open to the public, both field trips are limited to 20 participants and pre-registration is required. Registration is first-come, first-served with preference given to NYSOA members and youth members of the NYS Young Birders Club.
