Thanks to a grant from Northern New York Audubon to Shingle Shanty and SUNY ESF, we are pleased to be able to offer up two boreal bird trainings this year as well as an opportunity on June 10th to do boreal bird surveys at various locations around the Adirondacks with experienced birders.
This project builds off of the work that began under an EPA funded project to detect wetland response to climate change in the Adirondacks (the final report from that project can be reached by the link at the bottom of the page).
These trainings are to be held on the following dates and locations:
