New York's Great Lakes Seaway Trail: A Year-round Birdwatchers’ Paradise
Updated Feb 9, 2012
Niagara Gorge on the Western Great Lakes Seaway Trail was New York’s second Important Bird Area (IBA), designated by the Audubon Society for its significance to at least 18 species of gulls as well as terns, ducks, geese, swans, hawks and falcons. Along Lake Ontario northwest of Rochester, NY, large concentrations of waterfowl congregate at Braddock Bay IBA in early spring. You will hear American Woodcocks at dawn and dusk. Common Snipes winnow overhead from March to June and owls are definite specialties here. Fifteen miles to the east of Rochester, see peregrine falcons nesting atop the Kodak Tower via Falconcam.
