Come by the Cornwall Public Library, check out one of our birdwatching kits, and start birding! Use your observation skills and take the I Bird NY Challenge by identifying any 10 bird species of your choosing in New York State.

Running until November 1, the I Bird NY Challenge is open to participants of all ages and abilities, and available in Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Dari, Pashto, French, and Urdu. Participants may also earn a bonus entry into the prize giveaway by submitting a photo documenting their experience completing the I BIRD NY Challenge.

Participants will receive a competition certificate, a commemorative patch, and be entered to win great birding prizes such as spotting scopes and binoculars. 

Complete rules, submission information, and birding guides can be found at https://dec.ny.gov/things-to-do/birding/i-bird-ny.
