Riddell State Park Bird Walk

Join long-time birders and DOAS members Suzanne Gaynor and Sarah Root on Wednesday, May 15 from 8:00-10:00am at lower Riddell State Park. This will be a mostly-flat, half-mile walk along field hedgerows, along the Schenevus Creek, and through mature forests. A raised railroad bed makes it possible to see treetop warblers and other special migrant birds more readily than usual. We expect to see and hear a good variety of birds throughout. Meet at 8am in the parking lot just north of I-88’s Exit 17, off Rt 28 North. Wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for one wet spot in the trail. There are a few benches along the trail, and an outhouse at the parking lot. Contact Sarah Root at 607-433-2831 or sarah@radiantalignment.com for more information.

The walk will be on unpaved paths through forest and field, with some slight inclines or declines. The path may be muddy in places. There is a rest room at the parking area and a few benches along the way.
