Now in its second century, Audubon is dedicated to protecting birds, other wildlife, and the habitat that supports them. Our national network of community-based nature centers and chapters, scientific and educational programs, and advocacy on behalf of areas sustaining important bird populations, engage millions of people of all ages and backgrounds in conservation. www.audubon.org
Step into the sunshine and join Montezuma Audubon Center on Monday, June 10 @ 11:30AM for 18 holes of golf at Wayne Hills Country Club in support of conservation at the Montezuma Wetlands Complex, Onondaga Lake, and other Important Bird Areas in the Finger Lakes region.

Golfers will face beautifully manicured fairways and greens while playing a Captain and Crew golf tournament at Wayne Hills Country Club that was named one of the 101 reasons why golf in Rochester is so great. Enjoy a day of golf with lunch, a cocktail reception, bucket raffle, wine pull, nest box pull, and a dinner & awards reception. Not into golf? Join us for cocktails and dinner instead. Tickets for the cocktail and dinner receptions only are available too. Click here to register and sponsor the Annual Benefit.
As the Montezuma Audubon Center grows in reaching out to communities with programming, increasing patronage, and adding to amenities that establish us as a destination, we have a heightened need for support from volunteers. Click here to view the list of volunteer opportunities that will help us protect birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Submit this volunteer form to montezuma@audubon.org.
Join us in 2024 for invasive species removal, native garden, tree planting, and seed collecting projects across the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. These events will take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9AM from April through October. After a morning of work, lunch will be provided by the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex. Call 315-365-3588 or email montezuma@audubon.org with questions.

A family of great-horned owls and a family of bald eagles each have "babies" in the vicinity of the Seneca Trail and Wildlife Drive. These youngsters are still growing and learning to fly. This keeps them close to their nesting sites. Because of this, temporarily closing the area to visitors is necessary to cooperate with state laws and to give these birds the security they need to thrive. Please note and abide by closure signs, traffic signs (No Stopping or Standing) and barriers along the trails.
As great horned owls, bald eagles, and several species of songbirds continue their nesting seasons, we are counting on visitors to help safeguard their safety and well-being.Observing these magnificent creatures can be a memorable experience for all, but it's important to ensure their safety and habitat are not disrupted. There are several nests accessible for viewing from designated trails. This is exciting but is becoming disruptive.
For your safety and that of the wildlife, please observe from the shelter of your car. Remember, your car acts as a blind. The human figure is a threat to wildlife, and they use energy needed for survival to flee from you. You may only get out of your car at designated areas along the Wildlife Drive, marked with a brown and white binoculars sign.
National wildlife refuges offer us all a chance to unplug from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with our natural surroundings. Montezuma NWR, in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, is a globally renowned place for birding and nature photography. There are several ways to enjoy the refuge: view displays and get information from our volunteers at the visitor center; take the 3-mile Wildlife Drive auto tour route; walk nature trails of various lengths and difficulty; gain a different perspective from viewing towers and platforms; fish from the refuge into state-owned waters; hunt various species during New York State hunting seasons. You can also follow the cell phone tour provided by the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex: -of-the-montezuma-wetlands-complex-153838.html
Walking trails and viewing areas are open year-round, sunrise to sunset. Expect some trail closures during the New York State white-tailed deer hunting seasons. Please note that the Seneca Trail, accessible from the Visitor Center parking area, is partially closed until further notice; we are monitoring sensitive wildlife using the area around the trail.
While a visit to Montezuma NWR can transport you deep into nature, it is important to know that much of the refuge is human-made and therefore continuously monitored and managed. Each refuge pool is created using heavy equipment to build dikes that hold water. Each pool also has a water control structure structureÂ
 Something temporarily or permanently constructed, built, or placed; and constructed of natural or manufactured parts including, but not limited to, a building, shed, cabin, porch, bridge, walkway, stair steps, sign, landing, platform, dock, rack, fence, telecommunication device, antennae, fish cleaning table, satellite dish/mount, or well head.Â
 Learn more about structure to allow water to be drained as needed for optimum habitat. The Main Pool also has an inlet from Cayuga Lake, so can be filled using gravity-fed lake water. Other pools rely on water being pumped in or on rain to refill. A pool may be drained during spring and summer for one of two reasons: either to let plants regrow and refresh the marsh; or to create feeding habitat for migrating shorebirds.
Grassland and shrubland habitats undergo regular regimes of mowing/clearing in order to hold back natural succession to forest. We also used prescribed fire on some of our grasslands. Currently forest management includes monitoring trees that were planted several years ago, studying the impacts of white-tailed deer on certain forested areas, and monitoring for invasive species invasive speciesÂ
 An invasive species is any plant or animal that has spread or been introduced into a new area where they are, or could, cause harm to the environment, economy, or human, animal, or plant health. Their unwelcome presence can destroy ecosystems and cost millions of dollars.Â

The Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge was established on September 12, 1938 as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. Today, the refuge provides important habitat to over 300 species of birds. Of these, more than 100 species are known to nest on the refuge.
The 10,000-acre Montezuma NWR is located in what was historically called the Montezuma Marshes. The water level within these marshes has been lowered by 10 feet for the construction and maintenance of the NY State Canal System, giving rise to the need to create and manage impoundments to provide historic habitat conditions.
We manage water levels within these impoundments to provide habitat for high conservation priority waterbird species including: migrating waterfowl, such as northern pintail; migrating shorebirds, such as greater and lesser yellowlegs; and a variety of nesting marsh birds, such as black terns, American and least bitterns, and pied-billed grebes. Species within these groups require different water levels and habitat conditions so impoundments are managed in a rotation to provide a variety of habitats at any given time.
When you visit the refuge, you are likely to see impounded areas that have been completely drained to mimic a drought and encourage plant growth, units with a lot of mudflats and shallow water for shorebirds, and wetlands with a mix of open water and vegetation for waterfowl and marsh birds.
