Birding the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Audio Tour CD Now Available
 
Sackets Harbor, NY - Wildlife biologist Kimberly Corwin and Adirondack Kids®
co-author and television show host Gary Allen VanRiper are inviting birders
to experience the Great Lakes Seaway Trail in their time, at their pace and
in their style year-round. The pair narrate the 80-minute ³Birding the Great
Lakes Seaway Trail² Audio Tour CD produced by the non-profit Seaway Trail
Foundation as a companion to the recently released ³Birding the Great Lakes
Seaway Trail² book authored by ornithologist Gerald A. ³Gerry² Smith.

The Federal Highway Administration¹s National Scenic Byway Program, the New
York State Department of Transportation and the Environmental Analysis
Bureau, and the John Ben Snow Foundation provided funding to the Seaway
Trail Foundation for the book and CD project.

All manner of migratory and resident raptors, songbirds, and waterfowl
frequent the 518-mile freshwater shoreline travel route known that is one of
America¹s Byways and a National Recreation Trail. Birds fill the forests,
fields, wetlands, parks and backyards along the big waters of the St.
Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, Niagara River and Lake Erie in New York and
Pennsylvania. 

As travelers drive, bicycle, RV, boat, paddle or kayak, birders will hear
Corwin and VanRiper speaking about the birds of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail
and the only-found-here² natural areas that include such noted birding sites
as the 1000 Islands, Derby Hill Bird Observatory along Lake Ontario,
Braddock Bay, Niagara Gorge/Niagara Falls, and Presque Isle Bay.

Bird-theme Great Lakes Seaway Trail outdoor storyteller interpretive signs
located at significant points along the byway share fascinating birding
facts, legends, and lore and celebrate the byway region¹s natural diversity.
Wildlife artist Robert McNamara, illustrator/designer of the Birding the
Great Lakes Seaway Trail field guide, designed the outdoor signs.
