NYC Audubon is organizing its 4th NYC Shorebird Blitz, which will take place on *Sunday, August 27th*. Whether you're new to shorebirds or are an expert on fall shorebird plumages, we're looking to cover as much habitat throughout NYC as possible where there may be shorebirds - beaches, ponds, golf courses, etc. - to get a 1-day snapshot of activity in NYC.
If you're interested in participating, all you need to do is: - Email me at dkrien...@nycaudubon.org to sign up for a location to count at. After signing up for a location, it will be added to this map (if a location is already marked, someone is already counting there): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OZ7O3fVvVlo6TxVPYjS0YNluv4A&usp=sharing - Go out and count at your assigned location anytime on August 27th! You can do it alone, with a friend, or as a group. - Send a completed datasheet (which I will provide) back to me afterwards, whether there were shorebirds or not. Feel free to also put your checklist on eBird! Last 'fall', 23 volunteers counted over 3,100 shorebirds of 17 species in one day all over NYC. Happy shorebirding!
