SUMMARY:ULSTER COUNTY BIG SIT
DESCRIPTION:JBNHS’ annual Big Sit is also our BIG fundraiser for the year but serves too as a friendly competition between the  established sits. Do you have a birdy back deck or favorite patch and a cause worth birding for? Why not join the  challenge and see how many species you can identify and get friends and family to pledge to your effort. In the past  money has been raised to support Glenn Proudfoot’s fine research with N. Saw-whet Owls\, numerous enhancements at  SGNWR\, the New York State Young Birders Club\, and Where to Bird in Ulster County panels now located at three  locations about the county.  \n-Great Vly Sit\nPeter will again be birding Fradon Marsh from his pressure treated tower and greatly helping our cumulative JBNHS Big  Sit total with all those wonderful marsh birds and maybe a surprise like another Black Tern!   \n-Kingston Point Sit\nSome use words like dynasty\, this may be premature\, but another dominant performance this year and it would be hard  to dispute. This perennial powerhouse will be birding to raise money to support Alyson Dudek’s Bailey Middle School  Young Naturalists Club.   \n-Galeville (SGNWR) Sit\nSpend some time on the observation deck at Galeville (SGNWR) looking and listening for those ever important (and  harder to find) grassland species. Please contact Donna Seymour (dseymour66@gmail.com ) to plan and schedule your  shift.  \n-Thorn Preserve Sit\nPlease contact Dixon Onderdonk (dixononderdonk@gmail.com ) if you’d like to help at this new “sit”. This property  would be perfect for a “Where to Bird” panel and maybe a feeding station. Funds raised would be dedicated to that end.  \n-Bowdery’s Homestead Sit\nAllan (with split shift coverage from his better half) will bird their yard with hopes of a good feeder bird to pad our  cumulative list and raise the most money we can to distribute in June to important environmental and conservation  concerns in the region.   \n-Hayes’ Homestead Sit \nDave and Tracey will bird their yard and do so for as good a cause as you could find\, Wild Mountain Birds and JBNHS  trustee Annie Mardiney’s awesome work.  \n-New Location for a Sit?\nPlease contact Mark DeDea (forsythnature@aol.com ) with any questions and to let us know about a new sit for  promotional/ fundraising sake.  \nDonations can be based on a pledge per species (specific sit or cumulative) or flat donation. Please  make checks payable to JBNHS and note desired sit you’d like to support. Send in donations to  Treasurer Lin Fagan 281 West Chestnut Street Kingston NY 12401.

SUMMARY:SPRING MIGRATION AND WILDFLOWERS IN SAUGERTIES
DESCRIPTION:Conservancy and the John Burroughs Natural History Society are co-sponsoring a guided nature  walk through woodlands and wetlands in the Town of Saugerties on Sunday\, May 02\, 2021. The first week in May is  typically the peak migration period for neotropical birds at this latitude\, and early morning is the best time to see and  hear recently arrived songbirds in their brilliant spring plumage. We will explore a variety of ecologically rich habitats  to experience this annual rite of spring\, identifying birds by sight and sound while pausing along the way to observe a  diversity of wildflowers and animal life.   \n Pre-registration required\, group size limited\, meet location determined at time of registration. Participants should  expect to use their own vehicle to drive to each location and have the option to stay for the duration or leave whenever  necessary.  \n Bring binoculars\, field guides\, and spotting scopes if you have them\, and be prepared for wet\, muddy trails\, and  spring weather conditions. Light rain often makes for excellent birding and nature observation\, but heavy rain cancels  the walk. Children are welcome and encouraged\, but must be pre-registered. Please do not bring pets.  Contact the field trip leader\, Steve Chorvas (schorvas@gmail.com) for additional information or to register. This  joint ECC/JBNHS Environmental Education walk is free\, but limited to a maximum of ten individuals. For additional  information about upcoming ECC Nature Walks and Paddles\, please visit www.esopuscreekconservancy.org.

SUMMARY:SPRING MIGRATION AT HIGH BANKS
DESCRIPTION:An early morning visit during spring migration to this Scenic Hudson property in the Town of Esopus should provide a  generous selection of neotropical migrants. Please register with trip leader Jess Prockup (procolinos@gmail.com).  There is an initial climb of 200 feet on the trail but walking is easy after that and a panoramic view of the mid Hudson  Valley can be enjoyed while scanning the treetops for colorful songsters.
