All, The Sixth Annual Queens County Bird Club Big Sit will be moved to Sunday, October 13, instead of Saturday as originally scheduled. This is to take advantage of the forecast northwest winds on Sunday.
Original email with information on how to participate is below my signature. Good Birding, Corey Finger The sixth annual Queens County Bird Club Big Sit will take place at the Battery Harris Platform at Fort Tilden in, you guessed it, Queens, on Saturday, 12 October. (If we get horrific weather we’ll move it to the 13th.) The Big Sit is an all-day-long event where we seek to see as many species as possible from a single location in 24 hours (though we usually start an hour or so before dawn and go until dark). Last year we crushed our record when we saw 91 species and we hope to at least come close to that tally again this year. If you want to come you don’t have to spend the whole day. You can come for a quick visit, an extended stay, or join us for the whole shebang. Feel free to bring snacks and warm beverages!
