It's Feederwatch Friday, and today we're highlighting the New York State bird: The Eastern Bluebird! 🐦

The Eastern Bluebird is a gorgeous bird with a blue back and an orange and white stomach. They are a part of the thrush family and are stout in nature. Bluebirds do not visit our bird feeders but on rare occasions, but they use Bluebird boxes installed within the park.

Interested in joining our Bluebird Box building program next week? To register, call: (518)279-1155.
