Taylor Marsh is a preserve owned by the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and located in Ontario County north of Honeoye Lake. It is best known for marsh birds, including both local bittern and Virginia Rail. However, the star attraction is the 2-3 Sandhill Cranes that have been present in this area all year around for many years.
The 100 acre privately owned Odonata Sanctuary, 20 Parrish Rd., Honeoye Falls, NY 14472 is the former home of Joseph W. Taylor, who was a founder of the American Birding Association and President of Hawk Mountain Association.
This trip has generated large species lists due to the many habitat types we will travel through. We will start near the long house and the meadowlark field and then head down a wide trail through woods, shrub land, wetland, and to an overlook in grassland.
We will look for nesting bluebirds, Grasshopper and Vesper Sparrow, as well as meadowlarks, Bobolink, and maybe even a Red-headed Woodpecker.
