2026-01-24 08:00 - 2026-01-25 17:00 | Adirondack Hotel, 1245 Main Street, Long Lake, 12847, United States
Winter Birding Weekend in the Adirondacks!
Saturday & Sunday, February 14 and 15th, 2026 – NEW DATE!
Enjoy a weekend of birding trips in the Adirondacks this winter. Participants will look for winter irruptive species such as Bohemian Waxwings, and winter finch species such as Red and White-winged Crossbills, Pine Siskins, Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Grosbeaks, and more, along with year-round boreal residents such as Ruffed Grouse, Black-backed Woodpecker, Canada Jay, and Boreal Chickadee. Food sources are good this year with abundant fruit and many conifer species have excellent cone crops. For more detailed information, see this year’s “Winter Finch Forecast” at: https://finchnetwork.org/winter-finch-forecast-2025-2026.
Field Trips: Joan Collins will lead field trips on both days. Both Saturday and Sunday morning, meet outside the Adirondack Hotel at 7 a.m. (near the bridge over Long Lake on Route 30). Participants can drive in their own vehicles, or car-pool, if they are comfortable, to reduce the number of cars in the train.
Social Dinner: On Saturday evening, we can gather in the Adirondack Hotel dining room at 6 p.m. to enjoy dinner together.
Registration is required to attend the field trips. Contact Joan Collins to register at JoanCollins@ADKAvian.com or 315-244-7127. There is a maximum of 20 participants for each field trip.
