My husband & I will be taking a Road Trip from Ohio to NH next week to visit friends for a couple of days & on our return we would like to do some birding. We are considering going to Jamaica Bay for a day or 2 but will have 2 or 3 more days to bird our way through NY before we need to be in the Buffalo area to visit other friends. Can anyone give us some suggestions for a route to take & areas to visit? We have never been to NY to spend any real time there. Perhaps the Finger Lakes area? We are quite flexible in our plans at this point & are not fully committed to going to Jamaica Bay. I have always wanted to go there & this should be the perfect time of year but if we need more time to visit other places in NY we can change our plans. (Hubby is not really keen on the idea of driving through NYC anyway)
Also please keep in mind that we are no longer "in our prime" & able to do strenuous hiking or many hills. Thanks to anyone who can help us with suggestions for places to go. We are really looking forward to seeing more of NY than we have on previous "pass throughs".
