Cornell Fall Global Big Day: participants are asked to have an eBird account before registering for this event. 

Description: We will walk and bird as well as drive the road to the farm. The terrain is moderate with several hills. Walking sticks are helpful over uneven ground. Once we get to the farm the terrain is relatively flat but uneven ground. There are vantage points from flat gravel paths. We will bird all accessible areas including the bluffs. After a break for lunch, those who wish, may continue with us to a second location for a few more hours of birding to finish off our Big Day.  Cameras and Scopes are welcomed. The total distance we expect to walk is about 2-3 miles. There is a restroom at the facility. 

ADA Accessible: No

Experience Level: All Levels Welcome
