*Thursday, January 1, NEW YEAR’S DAY BIRD COUNT AT FIVE RIVERS EEC (Albany
County; morning)*
*Five Rivers Environmental Education Center, located on Game Farm Rd. in
Delmar NY, is a large area of fields and forest and is one of the premier
birding locations in the Capital District. This year marks the 43rd Annual
New Year’s Day Bird Count at Five Rivers. The goal of the count is to
identify all the bird species present on January 1st. This also marks the
start of Five Rivers’ annual bird list. HMBC joins the event again this
year and encourages members to participate. Groups will go out at 9:00
a.m., but birders are welcome to come earlier to get a head start. Everyone
will meet up at the Visitor Center at 11:00 a.m. for a compilation of
species observed. *
*Call ahead to Five Rivers in case of inclement weather.*
