Greetings CBCing Friends, The Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count centered in Glasco, Ulster County will be conducted onSaturday, December 27th. As you can see on the attached map the circleis essentially bisected by the Hudson River and includes parts of Ulster, Dutchess,Greene, and Columbia Counties. There are a wide variety ofhabitats and bird rich locations within the circle that promise to make this anexciting and fruitful day in the field. In the first three years of this count acomposite of 106 species have been observed on count day and another 7 speciesnoted during the count week. NYUD averages are currently 84 species and 20,072individuals per count. Not bad for "upstate"; this speaks to diversity of habitat and how well sectors have been covered previously. I hope we are able to continue this trend and maybe even divide and conquer sectors with more field parties. A post count compilation get-together will be held again at Kingston's Hasbrouck Park Stone building with food and libation provided. Please contactme if you'd like to join a field party in one of the ten sectors or ifyour residence is in the circle and you'd like to feeder watch. Thank you, Mark DeDea co-compiler [email protected] (845) 339-1277 (h) (845) 389-6530 (c) -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
