Each January, members visit lakes, rivers and
shorelines to count waterfowl (ducks, geese, swans, loons, grebes,
etc.). NYSOA has conducted this survey annually since 1955,
except for a brief hiatus in 1968-1972. Results are usually
published
late in the year in The
Kingbird.
In most years, more than a quarter of a million birds are tallied.
In addition to being an enjoyable outing, DEC has acknowledged this
to be a useful survey for long-term monitoring of waterfowl populations
wintering in New York. If you would like to participate, or
want more information, contact your regional
compiler or count coordinator,

Mark your calendar for future
counts!
Beginning in 2009, the count will always begin the Saturday
just before Martin Luther King Day, which is the third Monday in January.
