[cayugabirds-l] Upcoming Montezuma Audubon Center programs

[Johnson, Alyssa]

Join us this week for one of our several exciting programs!


[cid:image003.jpg@01D756F2.1C9721E0]
NYS Breeding Bird Atlas 101, led by Regional Coordinator, Andrea Patterson
Saturday, June 5
9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

In 2020, New York launched a 5-year project to document breeding birds all 
across the state.  This "Breeding Bird Atlas" can be used to assess the status 
of breeding birds and compare trends over time.  One of the best parts of the 
Atlas, is that anyone can participate! Whether you are interested in slogging 
through a bog to find an elusive wren, or whether you want to document the 
nesting robins in your own back yard, the Atlas wants your observations.  Join 
us for a fun and interactive workshop on how you can contribute to the NYS 
Breeding Bird Atlas.  We'll start with a quick classroom introduction, then 
we'll move outdoors so you can actually practice locating, identifying, and 
recording breeding birds.

-Fee: $10/person
-Space is limited and pre-paid reservations are required.
-Call 315.365.3588 or email montez...@audubon.org 
with questions.
