Minnewaska State Park Preserve
(845) 255-0752
Join Nick Martin, Park
Educator, for a winter bird outing in the Peter's Kill Area of Minnewaska. The
Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is an annual, four-day, citizen science
project that was launched in 1998 and is coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,
National Audubon Society, and Birds Canada. The GBBC invites people to count
birds in their backyards, their favorite outdoor places, or anywhere birds can
be found. Participants then submit observations to these organizations. For
this count, participants will slowly walk various trails near the Peter's Kill
Area of Minnewaska, searching for birds. Typically, there aren't many birds in
the Shawangunk Mountains in the winter, so we'll scrutinize movements and sound
to find as many birds as we can, while enjoying the wintry woods. We will plan
to walk on mostly level ground, although there will be a few sections of rocky,
hilly terrain. The total estimated distance of this walk will be up to
two-and-half-miles. Participants
are encouraged to dress warmly in layers, wear warm boots or shoes, and bring
binoculars. Visit birdcount.org to learn more about the GBBC. This program will
be cancelled in the event of rain or snow. Meet at
the Peter's Kill Area. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake
Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752. Please email Nicholas.Martin@parks.ny.gov for any questions and
additional information.
