Great Adirondack Birding Celebration

The Great Adirondack Birding Celebration (GABC) is designed to introduce birders of all ages and skill levels to the unique boreal bird species and habitats in the Adirondack Park. The celebration features birding field trips to local Important Bird Areas (IBA's). Full day trips are available Friday and half day trips on Saturday and Sunday, including presentations by accomplished ornithologists. Field trips have limited capacity and early registration is recommended.

The Paul Smith's College Visitor Interpretive Center in Paul Smiths, NY will host beginner bird walks, expert presentations, interactive programs and activities for the whole family in addition to the off site field trips.

This year, the celebration is working in conjunction with the Uihlein Foundation. The Uihlein Farm is also hosting ADK Action with a native plant sale as part of the Adirondack Pollinator Festival.
