Young Birder Trip - Firehouse Woods/ Lakeview Church Trail
2026-05-21 18:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Lakeview Community Church, 30 Long Pond Rd, Greece, NY, 14612, United States
Firehouse Woods is a small patch of woods in the town of Greece that can have some very interesting birds. Birds possible here include; woodpeckers, ducks, warblers, tanagers, orioles, and cardinals. Bring bug spray in case of mosquitos.
We will meet in the parking lot of the Lakeview Community Church at 30 Long Pond Road, Greece. The entrance to Firehouse Woods is unmarked, and is across the street from the parking lot. Depending on the birds and participant interest, we may walk part of the Lakeview Community Church Trail which starts at the back of the parking lot. Waterproof shoes or boots are needed as the trails can be very muddy. Restrooms are not available.
Note: Trips will go forward rain or shine unless there is a travel advisory. Wear sturdy shoes/boots and dress for the weather. Bring binoculars. Extra binoculars will be available to borrow. A spotting scope will be available for up close looks at birds thanks to a very generous donor!
Any questions call (518)256-9147 or email Neal Reilly
