Birding Challenge takes place throughout Long Island

Birders will be flocking to spots all across Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn as part of the 12-hour Seatuck Birding Challenge, which begins Saturday at the rooster-crowing hour of 5 a.m. The challenge: to count as many different species of birds as possible, then race back to the Suffolk County Environmental Center in Islip for the tally and a fowl-free barbecue.
