The New York State Ornithological Association’s annual statewide waterfowl count is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 14. Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society helps to coordinate participation in the region and covers a territory that includes Otsego Lake and the Susquehanna River above Unadilla, the Unadilla River, and Cannonsville Reservoir and the W. Branch of the Delaware River. This effort involves surveying waterways where waterfowl can be viewed, and identifying and counting ducks and geese.
The totals are used by the Department of Environmental Conservation in managing these species over the upcoming year.
Anyone interested in helping with the census should contact Andy Mason at 607-267-8491, or by email at AndyMason@earthling.net.
