Each year, avian visitors from the far north move south to spend the winter in our north-ern New York region. Adirondack birding guide Joan Collins will talk about why the birds migrate to our region, and where to find them.

The presentation will use photographs, audio, and video to feature many species that visit northern New York in winter, including owls and finches. Some species, like Rough-legged Hawk, Northern Shrike, and Snow Bunting, can be found every winter. Others, such as Pine Grosbeak, irregularly irrupt, while some species visit on a regular schedule, such as the Common Redpoll, which arrives every other winter.
