Braddock Bay Raptor Research Trail - Hilton New York Hikes

Visit Braddock Bay Raptor Research Trail in the spring to get a close look at owls and hawks as they migrate north. Upwards of 100,000 hawks, eagles, falcons, and vultures migrate over Braddock Bay along Lake Ontario each spring. The birds find it difficult to fly over the cold waters of Lake Ontario and prefer to fly around it. Braddock Bay is located on a point where the shoreline dips south. Because of the dip, birds stop to rest and get concentrated in this area during migration. Surface: Woodchip path and boardwalks.
