If you’re tired of winter, maybe it’s time to plan a spring bird trip. The New York State Ornithological Association is offering an early spring presentation and field trip at the Bashakill Wildlife Management Area in Sullivan County the weekend of March 29-30, 2014. As a part of this event, Bashakill authorities Lance Verderame and John Haas of the Sullivan County Audubon Society will give a presentation entitled Birds of the Bashakill. Their program will discuss breeding birds and rarities that have occurred at this wildlife management area, one of the largest wetlands in southeastern New York. Their talk, which is free and open to the public, will take place on Saturday, March 29th beginning at 3:00 p.m. in the Drama Building at Mamakating Town Park, 27-29 Mamakating Road, Bloomingburg. The Sunday morning field trip will begin at 7:00 a.m. and last 2-3 hours, visiting all the available open water areas and other accessible nearby sites that are likely to support interesting birds. We anticipate an abundance of waterfowl. To facilitate our planning, field trip participants must preregister by emailing Kathy Schneider at [email protected] or calling her at (518) 799-3457. More information about the expertise and experience of the trip leaders, arrangements, lodging, directions, and membership in NYSOA and can be found at the NYSOA website, http://nybirds.org.
