Friends of the Washington County Grasslands IBA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust working to conserve critical habitat for New York's endangered, threatened and at-risk grassland birds.  Our land and Alfred Z. Solomon Grassland Bird Viewing Area, picture below, are located in Fort Edward, NY.  FIBA's annual Winter Raptor Fest event educates youth and adults about native raptors and generates support for our efforts to conserve their habitat. Owl Watches, Guided Walks and Tours offer residents and visitors the chance to see and explore this special place - and perhaps encounter some of these amazing birds for themselves!
