We will search for Prothonotary Warbler, Yellow-throated Vireo, Cerulean Warbler, and other nesting birds at this local natural treasure. We’ll drive to various spots in the Refuge and take an easy walk along one of the very scenic trails.
Down the east side of the lake for a variety of nesting passerines, especially warblers and vireos. There will be a short walk at the south end of the lake but mostly we’ll drive-and-park along the shore.
A trip to this unique place is by special permit from the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and will feature nesting birds.
Don't miss the Annual RBA Picnic, held at the Burroughs-Audubon Nature Club in Victor, New York! Rain or Shine! Contact Wanda Thistle to make reservations and reserve your spot!
This field trip is mainly a driving, “stop and go” 10 – 20 mile trip through a series of bird-rich habitats between the lower third of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes.
This trip frequently boasts more birds than any other trip: of course, it gets an early start! We’ll look for birds not frequently seen on other trips, such as Acadian Flycatcher and Barred Owl.
We will look for nesting bluebirds, Grasshopper and Vesper Sparrow, as well as meadowlarks, Bobolink, and maybe even a Red-headed Woodpecker.
Our approximately 2 mile walk will explore about 250 acres at HANA and include some wet spots requiring ankle high waterproof shoes or boots.
Travel throughout the diverse landscapes of Northern Allegany County, 20 minutes south of Letchworth State Park. Grassland, woodland, pond and swampland species such as Prairie and Mourning Warbler, bluebirds, Pied-billed Grebe, and maybe a bittern or 2 should be seen: this trip generally goes all day so we can see as much as possible!
