SUMMARY:NYSOA Annual Winter Waterfowl Count
DESCRIPTION:At one time\, a great variety of waterfowl wintered on Long Island; now\, due to habitat loss\, food scarcity\, and the introduction of nonnative species of water birds\, our wintering population of waterfowl is slowly diminishing. To assess this situation and record the number of overwintering waterfowl\, the New York State Ornithological Association (NYSOA) sponsors an annual waterfowl count throughout the State. If you are an experienced or intermediate birder\, we would be delighted to have you join us. \nCount Leader: Frank Quevedo\, Executive Director\, South Fork Natural History Museum \nThis FREE program is for adults and teens. \nTo join\, call count leader Frank Quevedo at 631.537.9735 for detailed information. \n  \n Sign Up Here!\n
