Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology
Cornell
University - Ithaca, New York
Sights and Sounds At Sapsucker Woods
The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is well known as a source of
information for everything about birds, but it’s also a great place to go
birding. Now, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Wild Birds Unlimited
Pathways To Nature Conservation Fund, visitors to this legendary Lab will
know just where to go to see the best birds.
Start
your exploration of the 220 acre Sapsucker Woods at the Information Kiosk.
The map here illustrates more than four miles of trails that stretch through
woods, wetlands, and along the edges of Sapsucker Woods Pond. It is here
that you may check the bird list for the latest sightings, and you may also
add your own observations.
Don’t miss the chance to visit the Lab’s new
building, where you can learn about the many scientific and education
activities that take place there.
