Check out the Audubon Society * http://ny.audubon.org/ to learn more about some good places to spot migratory birds or email Education coordinator, Larry Federman of Audubon NY at birderlarry@verizon.net or JOHN BURROUGHS of the NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY http://www.jbnhs.org/ or ebird.org.(upstate NY) View and explore a real-time, online, program, eBird collects observations from birders like you and shares them.
As “they” say Birds of a Feather stick together. So I hope to see you, my fine feathered friends, around town (looking up of course).
This is a painting I did from life and if you're interested it's available as a print.
