NY Hotspots in the News
Birding made it into the national news this Independence Day, with the Associated Press running an article about some prime birding territory in western New York state. Covering 518 miles along the coast of Lakes Erie and Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, The Seaway Trail is a vast and diverse region, chock full of birding hotspots. Recently 17 new education kiosks are being built this summer along the Seaway Trail. Though lesser known than Cape May, Delmarva Peninsula, or Point Pelee, the Seaway Trail rivals many of its more famous cousins in bird population and diversity.
The trail is vast, so beginner- to intermediate-level birders might consider going with a tour guide, or starting off at a birding-oriented location like the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory, northwest of Rochester NY. The main discovery center and headquarters for the Seaway Trail is in Sackets Harbor, in Jefferson county NY. Mark August 4, 11, 18 and 25 on your calendars, official birding field trips will be held from 5PM-8PM starting from the Sackets Harbor Battlefield Site in Sackets Harbor.
Make it a goal of yours to explore the Seaway Trail, a lesser-known but no less noteworthy birding destination in the United States.
