One of the most popular events on the NY birder's calendar. Held at
a different location in New York State each year, it is an opportunity
for birders from all over the state to meet, exchange ideas, socialize,
and bird together. The annual business meeting, a papers session, identification
workshops, and a banquet with a prominent speaker are part of the event.
And, yes, some great field trips!
Looking ahead: UPDATED 12/2/11
Our 65th
Annual Meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 29, 2012. As of now, we do not have a host for this meeting, so it will likely be a one-day event.
Check back for details.

As a service to members of NYSOA, we publish some
of the scheduled field trips of our member clubs/organizations.
The intent is to inform all NYSOA members about availability of
trips to a variety of good birding areas within New York State.
This will allow interested people to participate in field trips
with birders who are knowledgeable about an area and the birds
likely to be present. It is important for anyone interested in
participating in a field trip with a group that you check the sponsoring
club/organization's website using the link provided to confirm
date/time and to find information about availability, any cost,
restrictions, etc.
Note:
Many member clubs/organizations around the state offer exciting
field trips regularly, and we can list only a few of them.
For information on additional trips in the areas that interest
you, take a look at our Member Clubs/Organizations page,
where you will find a map of New York State and a list of bird
clubs/organizations in each region, along with contact information
and links to individual club/organization websites.
Member clubs/organizations that would like NYSOA to announce a
field trip in NY Birders and on this website, please
contact the
well in advance of the trip so that the announcement can be included
with adequate notice.
