We’ll meet in the main parking lot off County Road 41/Boughton Hill Road at 9:00 a.m. The lot is situated below the new museum at 7000 County Road 41, Victor, NY 14564. (From Rt. 444 from Victor, turn right onto Boughton Hill Road and go down the hill. The main parking lot will be on your right.)
We’ll look for migrant ducks, owls, and various passerines in this “Get to Know Iroquois in Autumn” trip.
We’ll be looking for thrushes and other migrants. Durand can be surprising this time of year.
We’ll start off walking wooded and brushy areas of the park, looking for thrushes, sparrows, and maybe a half-hardy warbler or two. After that, we’ll stop by the lake watch to view ducks on the water and in flight, learning about the Lake Watch process as we share scopes.
Why a wastewater treatment plant? Open water and a great location mean that this spot appears regularly on the fall birding mailing lists.
Waxwings, winter finches, and lingering migrants are possible as well as Snowy Owl. We may visit Irondequoit Bay to look for waterfowl.
CANCELLED due to predicted icy road conditions.
We’ll be looking for Tundra Swan, Canvasback, Redhead, and other waterfowl.
Sharpen your skills on wintering hawks and Short-eared Owl. Other wintering birds such as Horned Lark, Snow Bunting, and Lapland Longspur are often present.
Get started on your annual list!
In open areas of water, we’ll look for some of the spectacular waterfowl that visit each winter, and with luck even see a few rarities!
This trip will be a leisurely winter walk featuring some very close looks at our winter passerines!
