DESCRIPTION:The 16th annual Esopus Bend Nature Preserve Winter Bird Count (WBC) will be conducted on Saturday\, January 09\,\n2021. Participants will census wintering birds throughout the 160-acre Nature Preserve\, recording numbers of individuals and\nspecies diversity. WBC results will become part of the Preserve’s biodiversity database and will help provide future guidance\nfor land management and stewardship decisions.\nEsopus Bend Nature Preserve is located on the banks of the Esopus Creek in the Village and Town of Saugerties in northern\nUlster County. Previous counts conducted during early January have recorded a cumulative total of 70 species and a singleyear high count of 966 individuals. Highlights from previous counts include Bohemian Waxwing\, White-winged Crossbill\,\nGray Catbird\, Field Sparrow\, Savannah Sparrow\, Winter Wrens\, six species of woodpeckers\, and double-digit numbers of\nwintering Hermit Thrushes.\nThe WBC is a great way for birders and nature enthusiasts to start off the New Year and contribute to our knowledge of the\nwinter bird population inhabiting Esopus Bend Nature Preserve. Additional field observers are always welcome and full day\nparticipation is not required\, but you should be prepared to invest several hours out in the field under cold winter\nconditions. We are limiting participation to a maximum of ten individuals in recognition of ongoing COVID-19 concerns and\nrestrictions. Pre-registration is required. Please contact Steve Chorvas (schorvas@gmail.com or 845-246-5900) to register\,\nor for additional information\, no later than 12:00 noon\, Friday\, January 8th.

SUMMARY:WHEN BIRDS ARE NEAR ZOOM PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION:WHEN BIRDS ARE NEAR with Editor and JBNHS trustee Susan Fox Rogers\nBirders are writers. When I began birding ten years ago I started reading\, both from the past (Alexander Wilson and Florence Merriam Bailey) and from the present (Kenn Kaufman\, Pete Dunne). Because I am an editor I realized there was no contemporary literary anthology of writing about birds and birding. I set out to collect those stories\, and what resulted was When Birds Are Near. This anthology includes stories from young writers like Christina Baal (who will join me on March 18) and Alison Vilag\, to literary superstars like Jonathan Franzen. All offer a unique perspective on the birding experience and together create a portrait of birds and those who love them. \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85351744929?pwd=WTRuQ0lDM3prcytmV3VraFc0VnpLZz09 \nMeeting ID: 853 5174 4929\nPasscode: 081559\nOne tap mobile\n+16468769923\,\,85351744929#\,\,\,\,*081559# US (New York)\n+13126266799\,\,85351744929#\,\,\,\,*081559# US (Chicago) \nDial by your location\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 408 638 0968 US (San Jose)\nMeeting ID: 853 5174 4929\nPasscode: 081559\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kddielqK23
