Lake Alice WMA Outing
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 | 9:00 AM
Lake Alice Wildlife Management Area, West Chazy, NY

Join Northern New York Audubon and the Town of Plattsburgh Recreation Department for a morning of birding at Lake Alice Wildlife Management Area, one of Clinton County’s birding hotspots.

Betsy Miner, Mar Bodine, and Ken Adams will lead the group as we explore Lake Alice’s diverse habitats, including open water, marsh, fields, shrub meadow, and mixed forest. Nearly 150 bird species have been recorded here, and in early September we’ll be on the lookout for a mix of resident birds and fall migrants.

Birders of all experience levels are welcome!
