We’ll look for migrant ducks and various passerines in this “get to know Iroquois in autumn” trip. This trip is a combination of driving and walking and includes a boardwalk, forest trail, and dirt road. Length, about 3 miles total, on mostly flat trails. Port-a-john is available about midway through the trip.
Meet at 9:00 a.m. toward the rear of the Brockport Wegmans parking lot (restroom available). For those traveling from the west, meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Upper Stafford Marsh Overlook near 5999 Albion Road, Oakfield, NY. Bring a lunch and beverages as this trip may go into the later afternoon. Spotting scopes would be very useful for some of the stops.
