There are dozens of excellent birding locations in the Cayuga Lake Basin!
See below for info on hotspots.
See Trip Recommendations for suggestions on which spots to visit, or Field Trips for other routes and locations.
If you are visiting the area, check the Calendar to see if a field trip is running - you're welcome to join in.
Or check to see if there is a CLO walk at Sapsucker Woods.
Looking for info on Accessible Birding? Check out the Finger Lakes Land Trust "Accessible Outdoor Experiences in the Finger Lakes" by going to the Go Finger Lakes map with the "accessible" and "bird watching" filters selected! See the story for more information on the sites.
