Putnam Highlands Audubon Society was formed to protect and preserve nature and the wonderful bird population of the Hudson Valley. We produce and present many educational programs to help you learn about and enjoy our birds. Also here are more resources that you will find very useful. Whether you a newbie or a seasoned birder.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology presents a great series of online self-paced courses to help both beginning and more experienced birders.
Again, this year, the weather was poor and although our teams spent the time and energy out in the field, many birds had clearly hunkered down to wait out the rain instead of revealing themselves. Thank you again for all of you who supported our efforts to document the bird species in our region this Spring and for your support of Putnam Highlands Audubon Society.
The first online citizen science project to collect data on wild birds and to display results in near real-time. Since then, more than 100,000 people of all ages and walks of life have joined the four day count each February to create an annual snapshot of the distribution and abundance of birds.
We invite you to participate! Simply tally the number and kinds of birds you see for at least 15 minutes on one or more of the days of the count. February 13-16, 2015. You can count from any location, anywhere in the world.
