The annual Department of Environmental Conservation "I Bird NY" challenge is underway through out NY.
The "I Bird NY" program encourages birders of all ages to identify birds and learn about birdlife in NY. To complete the challenge, participants must identify any 10 wild bird species and submit a challenge sheet to DEC. Participants who complete the challenge are awarded a commemorative patch and certificate. The “I BIRD NY” Challenge runs through November first. Additional information can be found on DEC’s website.
