On April 24, 2021, my Girl Scout Troop went to the Braddock Bay Raptor Research (BBRR) area on the south shore of Lake Ontario. In their own words, “Braddock Bay is a bird migration “hot spot” located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario just northwest of Rochester, New York. Millions of birds migrate through the area every spring as they head north to their breeding grounds.”
We spent some time watching for hawks, vultures, eagles, owls, and other migratory birds. Then we went on a fun hike. BBRR does bird counts, bands birds to help track their migrations, and assists in rehabilitating injured birds. It was a fun day.

Until next time,
Grace
