Audubon Society Lists Crucial Bird Habitats

From The Ithaca Journal

The New York state Audubon Society Monday released a list of 136 "important bird areas" that the group hopes will encourage the state and private landowners to protect the habitat of the 460 bird species who make New York their home.

The areas range from large (305,000 acres in the Moose River Plains area of the Adirondacks and 310,000 acres in the Catskill Peaks) to small (the 15-acre Huckleberry Island off New Rochelle in Long Island Sound and the 43-acre Little Galloo Island off Henderson Harbor, Jefferson County, in Lake Ontario.)
