1. Conesus Lake is considered one of the minor Finger Lakes, it is 8 miles long and 1 mile wide. The lake supplies water to Avon and Geneseo. 

2. The Red-breasted Nuthatch was seen in one of the trees on the trail next to the lake. 

3. There were groups of Mallard ducks, Common Mergansers and Gulls around the lake. 

4.  Views of the trail and Conesus lake, flowers gardens and a fish sculpture with a water feature. 

5. Mendon Pond Park, Monroe County NY. 

6.  Along the birdsong trail, we saw the cute fairy homes, bird blinds and benches. The birds are used to people feeding them along this trail, the Chickadee and Nuthatches were flying towards us as we walked. One time a chickadee almost landed on my camera. 

7. Located at the Mendon Ponds Park is Wild Wings a home for permanently injured birds that are non-releasable.  We saw various species of Owls, like the Barn Owl, Snowy Owls, Long-eared Owls, Screech Owl, Saw-whet Owl, Osprey, various Hawks, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures,  Bobcat and they had a very vocal Raven. 

8. Help your native raptors.

I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

I am sharing some images from our recent trip to Letchworth State Park, Mt Morris Dam controls the flow of the Genesee River, overlooks the Letchworth Canyon also known as the Grand Canyon of the East.

1. Letchworth State Park qualifies as one of the Audubon's Important Bird Areas. The open water below the dam has been known to attract over 2,000 Canada Geese in the winter. Other birds seen around the dam were the Turkey Vultures.
