ULSTER/DUTCHESS (NYUD) CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT
December 27
The NYUD is the “middle child” of Ulster-centered CBC’s and it’s hard to believe this will be the 15th count in ’25. Centered in Glasco, the NYUD circle is bisected by the Hudson River providing the best river coverage of any New York State circle. Contact NYUD co-compiler Mark DeDea (forsythnature@aol.com ) for possible assignment . A post count compilation will be held at the Hasbrouck Park stone building in Kingston.
