The ADKX Hosts an Adirondack Avian Walk in Long Lake in the Central Adirondacks
Attention all wildlife photographers, whether you're a professional or an amateur, the ADKX invites you to join Joan Collins, NYS Guide and President of Adirondack Avian Expeditions (and not the star of 80s classic “Dynasty”) and Brisbane Young, a wildlife photographer, on a half-day birding tour around the central Adirondack hamlet of Long Lake.
In the morning, participants will visit different excellent birding locations around town, where they can spot, listen to, and capture images of the local bird population. After that, tour members will head to the historic Adirondack Hotel to have lunch and relax in the afternoon.
Don't miss this opportunity to explore and photograph the beautiful wildlife of Long Lake with expert guides.
