The annual New York State Winter Waterfowl Count period begins Saturday, January 16 and ends Sunday, January 24. The target date is Sunday, January 17. Waterfowl to be counted include geese, swans, ducks, loons, grebes, cormorants, and coots. If you would like to help survey New York's winter waterfowl population, contact your regional coordinator who will be able to direct you to a local coordinator. Your local coordinator can assign an area or body of water to cover. You will find the contact information for all the regional coordinators at http://nybirds.org/ProjWaterfowl.htm. The Count is a joint project of the New York State Ornithological Association and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
