may / June happenings
Bird-A-Thon News We set out on a 24-hour marathon to see as many bird species in Westchester County starting in the evening of May 16. We did to raise money and have fun, too. It’s too late to participate (next year perhaps?) but not too late to support our efforts. Despite iffy weather, a total of 111 species were seen. Your donation will make this event a success. Please send a check to Hudson River Audubon Society, P O Box 616, Yonkers, NY 10703 or donate through PayPal.
