Grab your binoculars and check out one of these hot spots:
Northern Montezuma Wildlife Management Area (WMA), Cayuga, Seneca, Wayne counties – a stopover for many species of ducks who are headed farther north. You can see shorebirds, raptors, waterfowl, and songbirds at this WMA.
Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge, Genesee and Orleans counties – go for an opportunity to see many species of waterfowl.
Derby Hill Bird Observatory, Oswego County – known for migrating hawks.
Bashakill WMA, Orange County – view hawks, marshbirds, and waterfowl.
Central Park, NYC – see warblers, grosbeaks, flycatchers, wading birds, and waterfowl.
It’s impossible to list all the great bird-viewing locations so look for an Important Bird Area or Bird Conservation Area near you!
