It always amazes me that so many birds spend the winter in New York. I always thought they all flew south for the colder months, but it turns out that is not true. So where do they hang out during snowstorms? Where do they nest from December thru May?

I am not sure you will get all the answers, but you will definitely have a better understanding of how birds handle the winter if you spend time later this month at the Mohonk Preserves' Winter Birding event of January 29th, 2022 from 9 AM to 11 AM.

This event will introduce you to the birds that hang out with us throughout the winter. While you are at the event, you will learn tips on how to spot birds, you will learn how to identify them, and you will become familiar with their calls.
