Lance will explore why this is one of the premier birding locations in the state and the best in Sullivan County. Participants will also learn how the time of day and certain weather events affect the number and type of birds seen as well as the numerous rarities found in this birding hotspot.<\/p>\n

John Haas,<\/strong> author of “A Birding Guide To: Sullivan County New York<\/strong>” will join Lance for an exciting question and answer session. PLUS, John’s book will be on sale at the event and ALL proceeds will go directly to the Basha Kill Area Association.<\/a><\/p>\n
