Annual Meeting

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.

Field Trips  

Local Club/Organization Field Trips

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.
