About this event
Enjoy a weekend of birding trips in the Adirondacks this winter!
Participants will look for winter irruptive species such as Bohemian Waxwings, and winter finch species such as Red and White-winged Crossbills, Pine Siskins, Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Grosbeaks, and more, along with year-round boreal residents such as Ruffed Grouse, Black-backed Woodpecker, Canada Jay, and Boreal Chickadee.
Food sources are good this year with abundant fruit and many conifer species have excellent cone crops.

Field Trips: Joan Collins will lead field trips on both days. Both Saturday and Sunday morning, meet outside the Adirondack Hotel at 7 a.m. (near the bridge over Long Lake on Route 30). Participants can drive in their own vehicles, or car-pool, if they are comfortable, to reduce the number of cars in the train.
Social Dinner: On Saturday evening, we can gather in the Adirondack Hotel dining room at 6 p.m. to enjoy dinner together.
Registration is required to attend the field trips. Contact Joan Collins to register at JoanCollins@ADKAvian.com or 315-244-7127. There is a maximum of 20 participants for each field trip.
The Winter Birding Weekend is sponsored by the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Department and cosponsored by Northern New York Audubon.
