Birding & Hiking with Joan Colins

Join Joan Collins on this exciting birding trip into the William C. Whitney Wilderness Area north of the Town of Long Lake.  

Meet at the Long Lake Town Beach by the bridge over the lake at 6:30 a.m.  

We will make a few birding stops in boreal habitat along Route 30 before heading to the William C. Whitney Wilderness Area, along Sabattis Circle Road.  Eighteen warbler species breed along this road including Northern Waterthrush, Mourning, Palm, and Canada Warblers.  Many boreal species can be found along Sabattis Circle Road including, Black-backed Woodpecker, Olive-sided and Yellow- bellied Flycatchers, Canada Jay, and Lincoln’s Sparrow.  Little Tupper Lake and Sabattis Bog are within the William C. Whitney Wilderness Area, a designated Important Birding Area (IBA) by Audubon New York.
