Eastern Bluebird, photo by Steve Golladay Happy Holidays, Ginny and Otis 2 Volume 54 Number 1 www.watermanbirdclub.org January 2012 Waterman Bird Club Christmas Bird Count December 17, 2011 The 2011 CBC, the 54th annual count for Waterman Bird Club, was very good. The species total, 77, is above average and higher than the previous two years. The unseasonably mild weather was surely a factor. An all time high of 242 Ring-necked Ducks, 8 Bald Eagles, 7 Common Ravens, 299 Tufted Titmice, and 150 White- breasted Nuthatches were seen this year. The 13 Belted Kingfishers this year is only one less than to highest ever and 6 Brown Creepers are the most seen since the 1990. White-throated Sparrows, 346, and Dark-eyed Juncos, 752, are the highest numbers tallied since 1991 Liz Martens found a Northern Shoveler, only the fourth time seen since 1958. Two Sharp-shinned Hawks is the lowest number seen since 1998. I want to thank the Team Leaders for all their help with the CBC. Alan Peterson stepped in to lead a team this year. Eamon Freiburger, age 12, was our youngest participant. Of course, it is all the participants who made this CBC a success. Thank you to Maha Katnani for opening her home for the after-count dinner.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
