Haven Avian Migration Observatory is the NOAA Cooperative Weather
Station for Schuyler County. We provide biological and climatological
data for the County. View the NOAA
interactive map showing temps and precip for the last 24 hours
in our region. We are a privately owned
perpetual wildlife sanctuary and the only full-time, non-profit
avian research (banding) station in New York State. Bird banding
is under the aegis of the U.S.
Department of the Interior and data are published in scientific
journals as well as being publicly available through the Department.
As of january 2010, over 80,000 birds of 145 forms have been banded
here. A total of 220 avian species have been reported as a part
of daily point counts. The overall data is invaluable in assessing
the biologic health of the county. The property is protected through
a perpetual conservation easement with the Humane
Society Wildlife Land Trust. Daily weather data is transmitted
to the National
Weather Service and then made available worldwide. These data
form the "official" weather database for Schuyler County.
Temp/precip
for the region, local snowfall for the region, temp
and rainfall reports (we are known as Mecklenburg or MECN6.) KHMO has written articles for the
Catharine
Valley Trail newsletter. Also, several articles were done in
the Watkins
Glen Review & Express newspaper, and we also report to the
Chemung
Valley Audubon Society CVBIRDS-Listserve. CVBIRDS
is a listserve for nature lovers in the Chemung Valley area of NY
State. Of course, our primary focus is on our KHAMOlistserv
Yahoogroups site that is a natural history forum for the area and
nation. The primary focus of the list is wild birds, their behavior,
actions, deformities,
sightings, and environment. Other nature topics can be discussed
as well. We primarily publish in North
American Bird Bander, The Kingbird,
Argia and other avian and odonate journals, as well as, in mass
media nature and bird publications. We have been recognized by the
American Bird
Conservancy as an important bird research area and appear on
the map they commissioned from National Geographic. We are also
in several other internet lists/publications and the like. Cedar
