Hamilton County contains more than one million acres within the Adirondacks. With more than 60% of those acres classified as wilderness or wild forest, it is one of the best locations to watch boreal birds.

Since 2005, the Hamilton County Birding Festival has attracted birders from all over the United States to explore and discover the amazing birds of the Adirondacks.

Remember, this is the Adirondacks, so you should be prepared for all types of weather, including heat, humidity, rain, cold, and even snow. June is typically filled with warm days and cool evenings, but you can never be sure about the weather you will find.
