The inevitable meeting of ducks and sprites...

Head out toward Oakfield, New York out to the Oak Orchard State Wildlife Management Area using Albion Road. You'll see a large wood and metal open air observation tower on your left (if you're heading north) or right (if you're heading south). Stop and park in the gravel circle.

Woodland Flower Sprite
In the middle of this circle is a vine covered group of trees. Circle around them until you can see the low stone wall within this little green shelter. Hiding under rocks at the southern end of the wall is our little sprite. Um...she's not REALLY next to any woods, but the Highlander swears there's flowers there in the spring, so he's the one to complain to if you don't get the full effect! (Aw, who'm I kidding...it's a THEME I like!)

Oak Orchard Black Duck
Head for the observation tower. Climb up to the 4th landing and check the metal crossbeams that support the tower right in front of you (by the way, we picked up this particular style of letterbox from the prolific and amazingly crafty Elba Onions!)

We recommend letting the sprite welcome you before bagging the duck..if you get her first, you can carry her and the duck up to the top of the observation tower and get a WONDERFUL view of the refuge.
