A discussion area for amateur to expert birders to report rare, unusual, or simply interesting bird sightings in Northern NY. This would include the Adirondacks, St. Lawrence, Tug Hill, Eastern Lake Ontario, and Lake Champlain areas. Loosely, anywhere east of Lake Ontario/I-81 and north of I-90. Relevant cross-postings from neighboring groups are also encouraged.

We would also encourage all posters to submit all NY sightings to eBird New York at http://ebird.org/content/ny/ which will enable researchers to access these sightings from a central database.

On the website, events and trips relative to the group may be posted and/or placed on the group calendar. Birding-related photos, files, and polls may also be uploaded. Members interested in researching birding resources including birding areas and maps should check the Files and Links sections of the website.
