Bashakill birds in all seasons

Posted

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The public is invited to Morgan Outdoors, 46 Main St., for “Birds of the Bashakill,” a presentation by Sullivan County Audubon member Lance Verderame, on Saturday, March 7 at 4 p.m. The program offers a season-by-season account of the incredible bird life of the Bashakill Wildlife Management Area, located near Wurtsboro, the largest freshwater marsh in southern New York State. Lance will explore why this is one of the premier birding locations in the state and the best in Sullivan County. Participants will also learn how the time of day and certain weather events affect the number and types of birds seen as well as the numerous rarities found in this birding hotspot. John Haas, author of “A Birding Guide to Sullivan County, New York,” will join Verderaem for a question-and-answer session. Haas’s book will be on sale at the event and all proceeds will go directly to the Basha Kill Area Association. To reserve a seat call 845/439-5507.

While there, you can view an exhibit that will be in the Catskill Park room through April 10, on the life and tragic extinction of the passenger pigeon, sponsored by John Burroughs’ Woodchuck Lodge in Roxbury. The exhibit, developed and designed by the Chicago Museum of Science and its Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, includes a locally produced panel about John Burroughs and his sightings of and comments on this amazing bird.
