SUMMARY:Spring Migration Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Anna White \nSpring Migratory Bird Count 2025When: Sunday\, May 11th at 8:00 amWhere: Meet outside of the Community Center \nWe invite you to join us for our annual Spring Migratory Bird Count on Sunday\, May 11th. This seasonal tradition offers a great opportunity to observe birds returning to their northern breeding grounds while exploring a variety of habitats across the island. \nThe morning will begin outside the Fishers Island Community Center at 8 am\, where we will gather before setting out in groups. Guided by Dr. Adam Mitchell of Tarleton State University\, along with birding experts Emily Baisden and Will Almeida\, the group will visit 15 designated stops from the West End to the East End of the island. Each stop lasts five minutes\, following established Audubon count methods\, as we identify and record bird species seen and heard along the way. \nAll are welcome to attend. No prior birding experience is needed. If you have binoculars\, we encourage you to bring them. A limited number will also be available to borrow. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. \nThis annual count supports the Conservancy’s long-term efforts to monitor bird populations and contributes valuable information to regional conservation work.
