Join Volunteer, Bob Confer, for a family-oriented nature walk on the Onondaga Trail. This trail provides visitors with the chance to see diverse wildlife. A quiet walker will be rewarded with a variety of songbirds, waterfowl, and mammals. The dirt and gravel dike trail leads you past Onondaga Marsh and into mixed forests with evergreen plantations that predate the refuge. In the spring, wood ducks and hooded mergansers like to make their nests in provided nest boxes.
