The "Lab of O" is always a good place to visit. Even when it's cold outside, their large indoor viewing area and exhibits offer lots to see and learn. They have lots of family-friendly events and their Facebook page gives regular updates of interest to even casual birdwatchers.
Loved the birdwatching on Sunday morning. The guide was knowledgeable and very helpful and it was an extremely pleasant walk.
If watch, feed and or listen to birdsong this is the place for you. There is a woodland walk with a pond also available.
The location is perfect to look out into Sapsucker Woods with the provided binoculars and see many varieties of birds and wildlife. The staff is knowledgeable, the space amazing and every time you go there is an opportunity to learn something new. There is a lot of programming offered on the weekends including guided tours for birds.
This is a lovely place to walk. There are several trails - non of which take too long. It's a great place to enjoy being out on nature and to get some exercise. Very peaceful. Very well kept up. I was visiting the area w a friend and we wanted to be outside but didn't want something strenuous.
Our group stopped here on a cold winter day and we were very impressed by the centre. The views were great, and inside there was a huge atrium with a mural being painted. The room where you could listen to the library of thousands of bird calls was cool.
Even though we could barely spend 30 minutes there, it felt magical to be in the mecca for bird watchers! We will definitely be back to spend a day
Inside the park a great place to live in perfect armory with nature and make your bird watching day. suggested
The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is the best location in the country to learn all there is about birds and birdwatching. They have a lovely site with an observation area just adjacent to a lively pond filled with a lot of waterfowl and edge species. They have weekly lectures every Monday evening that are open to the public. These talks feature prominent bird people from around the globe. The topics range from photography to bird conservation and a whole lot inbetween. In the spring, there is a wonderful Spring Field Ornithology course which allows a choice of either lectures alone or the added pleasure of the field trips each weekend (some, overnight). Researchers at the lab are aided by the world class Sound Library with recordings of birds as well as marine mammals. There are bird walks scheduled regularly (call or check the website for details) and in short, the CLO is an incredible place to visit if you have an interest in the natural world.
Several miles of beautiful trails through huge oaks and around ponds give many opportunities for reflections as well as bird-watching. Binoculars are available fort check-out.
