Braddock's Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Braddock's Bay is located northwest of Rochester, NY on Lake Ontario. Braddocks Bay is renowned for being an excellent bird watching location, as raptors and other birds congregate when migrating north in Spring. A hawk watching station is located within the 440 acre park on the east side of the open bay, and is maintained by the Town of Greece.

The Braddock Bay Raptor Research center sponsors banding of both owls and hawk, whose numbers peak in late March and early April.

The Braddocks Bay Complex also includes:

 *  Owl Woods (Pear Orchard)- banding station 
 *  The Spits (East & West) 
 *  The Bay 
 *  Cranberry, Long and Buck Ponds 
 *  Beatty Point 
 *  Hogan Point and Hincher Road 
 *  Northrup Creek 
 *  Salmon Creek 
 *  Island Cottage Woods
 *  Rose Marsh
