NYSDEC: ![]() Mute Swan family in June Every 3 years, DEC conducts a Mid-summer Mute Swan Survey to assess the population status of this non-native species. Efforts are coordinated with other Atlantic Flyway states to help evaluate the need for and success of management efforts. Although many people enjoy viewing mute swans, wildlife agencies are concerned that the growing number of swans will result in adverse impacts to other wildlife and create new conflicts with human interests. This August, ornithologists, birders, and others are asked to report their sightings of Mute Swan to the DEC. Learn more about the Mute Swan survey and find out where to send your reports Thanks in advance for your help with this important project! Bryan Swift , NYSDEC
With the exception of a small number of special "members
only" events, all of our activities, including walks and monthly
meetings, are open to the public free of charge. Our
monthly meetings feature speakers from various organizations who bring
us fascinating presentations on wildlife and the environment. Join
us at 7:30pm on the fourth Monday of each month (except in November,
when our meeting takes place at the Annual Dinner, and in July and
December, when there is no meeting). Unless indicated otherwise
on our calendar page, meetings are held at the Freedom Plains Presbyterian
Church parish hall, located on Route 55, about 3/10 mile west of
the Taconic State Parkway, across from Arlington High School. Check
our calendar
for our schedule of meetings, bird walks, and other events.
