Buffalo Ornithological Field Trip- Big Sit at Silver Lake Park on October 7, 2023 at 8am to 4pm.  Meet at Silver Lake State Park Boat Launch…which is south of Perry. Matt Nusstein, who is a naturalist at Letchworth State Park leads.

Founded in 1992, The Big Sit is an annual, international birding event similar to a bird-a-thon. The catch is that all observations must be made from within a circle no more than 17 feet in diameter. Our count circle will overlook the southern portion of Silver Lake. You can stay for as little or long as you’d like to help with the count or to learn more about the birds of Silver Lake. Bring a picnic lunch if staying for the lunch hour
