TOMORROW, Saturday, is a big day! All day we have

TOMORROW, Saturday, is a big day! All day we have our NYSOA Winter Waterfowl Count with Frank for Adults/Teens!

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. To join us, call count leader Frank Quevedo at 631.537.9735 for detailed information.
