Meet at the DEC parking lot on Manitou Beach Road
Limited to 25 attendees
Join GVAS for a visit to Braddock Bay Bird Observatory to learn how they catch, band,
and record data on birds. We will be able to get a close view of captured birds as they
are banded and data taken. You don’t often get a chance to see birds this close up.
If you would like to go out and see the nets the birds are caught in you should wear tall
rubber rain boots.
BBBO strives to make their facility accessible to those with disabilities, but they are not
yet fully accessible to everyone with mobility challenges. Their building has doors wide
enough to accommodate a wheelchair, and they have sufficient seating for those who
cannot stand. However, guests should know that their trails – while well maintained –
are surfaced with crushed rock or mulch and are frequently muddy. Furthermore, Their
only restroom is a porto-john that is not large enough for a wheelchair.
We will meet at the DEC parking lot on Manitou Beach Road. Take Rt. 390N to the
Lake Ontario State Parkway, take the Manitou Beach Road exit, turn right then turn right
again into the parking lot across from Owl Woods. We will carpool from here to the
banding station. Their parking lot is small.
