View list of Bird Conservation Areas across the state for great bird watching opportunities. With birds on the move, birding sites can change within a few days with different species traveling in and out. Every spring and fall. thousands of raptors migrate, and birders may see or hear eagles, kestrels, sharp - shinned hawks, ospreys, broad -winged hawks, and peregrine falcons, among others. The NYS Birding Trail highlights several hawk watches including Bear Mountain Hawk Watch at Bear Mountain State Park, Hook Mountain Hawk Watch, and Mount Peter Hawkwatch Trailway. It's also important for everyone to turn off the lights for birds at night. DEC launched the 'Lights Out' initiative aimed at keeping non -essential outdoor lighting from affecting the ability of birds to migrate successfully. Many species of shorebirds and songbirds rely on constellations to help them navigate to and from their summer breeding grounds through the State. Excessive outdoor lighting, especially in adverse weather conditions, can cause these migrating birds to become disoriented, a phenomenon known as fatal light attraction. View the latest migration forecasts and maps for birds in your area.
