I do a great deal of my birding in my backyard, its not uncommon to have 15 species at my feeders on any given day.
St. Lawrence Co. is where I am located in the northern tier of the state,bordered by Canada. Robert Moses St. park offers wildlife viewing and some excellent birding. Its located on an island accessible by drive through tunnel, and attracts a great many waterbirds.
Some of the spieces that can be seen there are:
Turkey Vultures
Red Tailed Hawks
coopers Hawks
Great Blue Herons
Double Breasted Commorants
Northern Flickers
Pileated Woodpeckers
Downy Woodpeckers
Hairy Woodpeckers
Terns
Gulls
Blue Jays
Gold Finches
American Robins
Canadian Geese
Falcons
various songbirds
several varieties of owls
Bank swallows
several varieties of ducks
Osprey
Eastern Wild Turkey
hummingbirds
There are also many mammals such as
Deer
mink
fishers
skunk
coyotes
fox
beaver
black squirrel
red squirrel
chipmunk
groundhog
snapping turtles
There are several varieties of snakes common to the area, but all are nonvenemous
If you care to venture below the surface of the water you can view an aquatic world rich in life. Some of the fish you could see are
Largemouth Bass
Smallmouth Bass
Northern Pike
Gar Pike
Walleye Pike
Muskellunge
Sturgeon
Carp
Catfish
Bullhead
Perch
Bluegill
Sunfish
There are also eels, some I have seen that are quite large
So there is a summary of this area of NY. An hours drive can have you in the mountains where there are also Bear, bobcat, occasionally Moose and cougar
