Sullivan County is one of New York State's birdiest counties, home to the famous Bashakill Wildlife Management Area and the Mongaup Valley Bald Eagle area, two sites designated by New York State as Bird Conservation Areas. It is possible for a person to find over 100 different species of birds in one May day at the Bashakill. One can also find over 200 species of birds in Sullivan County in a year; both of these feats were accomplished in 2002. A total of over 280 species of birds have been recorded in the county.
