This is box number 3 in a 7-part series. This is the 1st series placed through the collaborative efforts of the WIZRDS OF OZ. Who are the Wizards? Craftymouse, Dandelion, WINK and Tarheel; all of us from Oswego!
Ink is included in these boxes, but you should bring your own pen. And bug spray! LOTS of bug spray!
“There is so much beauty-
if you can see it.”
-Richard A. Noyes 1898-1985
This box is located at the Richard A. Noyes Sanctuary in Scriba, NY. Directions and information about the Sanctuary can be found here: http://www.onondagaaudubon.org/noyes.html
CLUES:
From the parking area, take the path on the left. You’ll quickly pass the maintenance shed where you’ll turn right. At the beginning, you’ll be on the red trail, but at the next intersection you’ll want to turn left and follow the bright green markers (when this box was placed, the intersection where you turn to follow the green trail was also marked by a big blowdown). You’ll cross over a series of three small wooden bridges and then over an area of stepping stones. You’ll want to heed the posted warning of poison ivy! At the T, turn right (left has a gate and is posted). At this point the shoreline will be through the trees to your left and the trail you’re on will be following alongside it for a ways. Eventually the trail will come to an open area which will give you a great view of the lake. You can hear the waves crashing with a deep sound down below. DO NOT approach the edge!!! This clearing is located on a bluff and the waves may have eaten away at the rocky cliffs below. You can, however, enjoy seeing the barn swallows as they do their flips and circles in the air over the water. Near this open area is a memorial stone for Richard A. Noyes. Facing his stone, you can see a barely-there, kinda-sorta path directly behind it. Take 6 steps past the stone on this ‘path’. Immediately on your left is a fallen tree with a rocky nest at its base. Roosting here is your ‘Yellow’ bird. Please replace carefully! This is probably a popular picnic spot for the area residents.
