bird

A surprising visitor has been spotted at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge near Seneca Falls, NY. Birdwatchers are excited by the rare appearance of a species typically found in the Midwest and western U.S., far from its usual range.

New York State is home to nearly 250 species of birds but these are the 29 most common that you'll find in your backyard whether you live in a rural or urban area.

It's not everyday you jump into your car getting ready to drive away when you see a pigeon on your roof. Especially when you live in Central New York.

The park says three different species will call the exhibit home and that it will also be a great resource for educational experiences as well as something unique overall.

It's pretty challenging to be a teacher right now - and many are going above and beyond for their students. A New Hartford teacher decided to do a Facebook Live for her students - but a hawk had other ideas.
