Travel to Oak Orchard, New York to see the huge waterfowl migration.

The Oak Orchard Wildlife Management area is famous for hundreds of thousands of geese, ducks and other water birds stopping to feed as they migrate. The boardwalks and towers overlook vast ponds and marshes that fill with birds.

This is the first of several trips and programs to honor the Jamestown Audubon Society’s sixtieth anniversary.  Many ardent birders have visited Oak Orchard in hopes of seeing a rare migrant, such as a White-fronted Goose, Eurasian Widgeon or other rare bird mixed in with the thousands of migrating waterfowl. 

Participants should be dressed for the weather. Bring binoculars, spotting scope if you have one, a packed lunch and water. The trip will begin at the Audubon Community Nature Center. It takes approximately two and a half hours to reach Oak Orchard.

The trip will be led by Don Watts, a local birder and bird bander who enthusiastically shares his knowledge and expertise with birders of all levels.

Special Information: Pre-registration is required. Participants should bring binoculars, spotting scopes, lunch, snacks, bird books and be prepared for a long trip with traditionally wonderful birding.
