Sullivan County
is one of New York State's birdiest counties, home to the
famous Bashakill Wildlife Management Area and the Mongaup
Valley Bald Eagle area, two sites designated by New York
State as Bird Conservation Areas. It is possible for a person
to find over 100 different species
of birds in one May day at the Bashakill. One can also
find over 200
species of birds in Sullivan County in a year; both of
these feats were accomplished in 2002. A total of over 280
species of birds have been recorded in the county.

"Township Birding" Reminder: Prizes
to be Awarded!
Don’t forget that this year we are keeping lists of the
kinds of birds we see in one or more of the Towns of Sullivan County.
This local project is in full swing, with many of you participating.
Most are just keeping a list for the town they live in, and some
are keeping track of birds seen in more than one town. Or if you
prefer, you can just keep a list of the birds you see in your yard
during 2008. Be sure to note the date that each was seen,
and if you find any rarity, call anyone whose telephone is listed
in this newsletter.
Phyllis Jones has made up an attractive form that shows all of
the birds of the county with columns for each of the 15 towns.
Contact her at 557-6591 or Valerie Freer at 647-5496 for more information.
The “Township Birding” Committee has decided to award
prizes to all participants who stick with it and submit their list
for at least one town next December.
It’s not too late to start!
