January 17- Tuesdays With Tom- Join Tom on the New York State Ornithological Association Annual Waterfowl Count. We will meet at the Red House at Inlet Pond County Park, Greenport at 8 AM.Each January, birders visit lakes, rivers and shorelines to count waterfowl (ducks, geese, swans, loons, grebes, etc.). NYSOA has conducted this survey annually since 1955. Results are usually published late in the year in The Kingbird. In most years, more than a quarter of a million birds are tallied. In addition to being an enjoyable outing, NYSDEC has acknowledged this to be a useful survey for long-term monitoring of waterfowl populations wintering in New York. If you would like to participate, or want more information, contact Tom Damiani at tdamiani3@optimum.net or phone at 631 477-6456
