Our trip to this lakeside treasure should rack up good numbers of warblers, flycatchers, and other spring arrivals.  Owned by the Genesee Land Trust, the Manitou Beach Preserve 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 (Rt. 261) at the Lake Ontario State Parkway at 8:00 a.m.  We will shuttle to the preserve, as parking space is limited.
