On July 1, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Amanda Lefton announced the addition of 12 new locations to the New York State Birding Trail including the Jay Estate. “The New York State Birding Trail provides enjoyable, affordable opportunities for all New Yorkers, regardless of age, ability, identity, or background to have access to locations to experience the joy of watching birds,” said Commissioner Lefton. “With hundreds of visiting and resident bird species to observe this summer – including songbirds, waterfowl, and birds of prey – there is a spot on the Birding Trail for everyone to experience all New York has to offer.”
Just last week our healthier new gardens have been visited by gorgeous birds like hummingbirds and the Indigo bunting seen above. Yet another step forward in proving the restorative value of what we do ecologically!
All spottings can be logged on E-Bird for the Jay Estate. https://ebird.org/hotspot/L152…
