Of interest to birders who visit State Parks:


The NYS Parks will be selling 2013 Empire Passport Passes for $40 on "Cyber

Monday". The regular price is $65.


From their press release:



"The discount will strictly apply only to online orders placed between 12

a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on Monday, November 26. Purchases will be accepted

online at   www.nysparks.com during this time, but

will not be accepted in person or by phone. Each customer will be able to

Empire Passes will allow unlimited free entry to the many state parks and

historic sites through the year.



As a reminder, Senior birders (age 62 and older) can still get into most

state parks for free on non-holiday weekdays by showing your driver's

license or ID at the entry booth.
