Annual Waterfowl Count (NYS)

The NY State Ornithological Association’s annual statewide waterfowl count is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023.  DOAS covers Otsego Lake and the Susquehanna River above Unadilla, the Unadilla River, and Cannonsville Reservoir and the W. Branch of the Delaware River. This effort involves surveying waterways where they can be viewed, and identifying and counting ducks and geese.  The totals are used by the Department of Environmental Conservation in managing these species over the upcoming year.
