The first of the Highlander series! The Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge is part of US Fish & Wildlife Service federal refuge system. Of course, you can go find the goose anytime of the year you wish but we highly recommend early April...especially at sunrise or sunset. This is when the waterfowl migration is at its peak. It's truly breathtaking as the skies are constantly swirling with wave after wave of geese and ducks making their way up north to their nesting grounds. It's important to remember that all areas of the refuge are closed to the public after dark...even the overlook.
To get to the refuge:
From the NYS Thruway, take the Medina/Pembroke exit #48A. Head north on Route 63 through Indian Creek & into Alabama (the only stoplight on this road). Turn left onto Route 77 and head west for about 2 or 3 miles. The Cayuga Overlook will show up on your right.
To find the goose:
Find the "saddest" tree you can find. The goose is nesting right in the lowest crotch of the tree.
Please be sure to be discreet in acquiring and replacing our goose. Especially, if you go in the spring during peak migration as there will be many birdwatchers at this overlook at that time. Also, you will have to step up on the tree a bit to get to the goose...we stood on a large knot that sticks out right at knee level to place it. Watch your step!
Bring your own inkpad & pencil and happy hunting!
