January 1 at 10am
We’ll begin at the Welcome Center, where we’ll introduce the birds that overwinter in Western New York. We’ll also discuss some of the species you might see if you venture to the lake (note: traveling to the lake is not part of this tour). From there, we’ll take a leisurely walk along the Erie Canal to see what birds we can spot, all while enjoying some fresh air and exercise. While this is not the prime season for bird activity along the canal, it’s a wonderful opportunity to stretch your legs and learn about bird habitats and tips for future birding outings.
We have a limited number of binoculars/monoculars to share, so feel free to bring your own if you have them. Walks will take place unless there is severe weather. If there is enough snow, we’ll provide snowshoes—these are easy to use, and the terrain is not difficult, making this walk suitable for all skill levels.
We will meet at the Brockport Welcome Center (11 Water Street, Brockport, NY where there is municipal parking and accessible bathrooms) at 9:45 am so that we can start promptly at 10 am. Dress for the weather, wear comfortable boots and bring your own water bottle.
Bird walks are open to participants age 10 and up. If under 18, you must be accompanied by an adult. An ASL interpreter can be requested with four (4) days’ notice by emailing us at otcbrockport@gmail.com. No pets, please.
If you cannot join us on January 1, look for other bird walks in January and February. For more outdoor fun, explore our Snow Adventures programming also happening this winter!
Thank you to the On the Canals program and the New York Power Authority for partnering with the Village of Brockport so that we can offer these programs.
