Our inaugural trip to the lakeside treasure should rack up good numbers of warblers, flycatchers, and other spring arrivals.  Owned by the Genesee Land Trust, Manitou Beach consists of 5 acres of field and hedgerow, shrub and cattail wetlands extending into Braddock Bay.  Wear waterproof, sturdy shoes and don’t forget the bug spray!

Meet in the Owl Woods Parking Lot on Manitou Beach Road (Rte. 261) at the Lake Ontario State Parkway at 8:00 a.m. We will shuttle to the preserve as parking space is limited.
