Hello fellow nature lovers and Skaneateles Conservation Area users, this blog is for us. Hear something? Write about it. See something? Let us know. Let's share our knowledge and experiences using the properties. On the east side of town the Skaneateles Conservation Areas include the Federal Farm, the Guppy Farm,and the O'Loughlin property which have been connected by a series of trails. On the southwest side of town, the Mabel Reynolds property stands undeveloped at the present but hopefully trails will be developed in the future.

I hope that all users of this blog will help record nature sightings as the years progress which can enhance all visits to these properties.

Guppy Falls

Monday, May 31, 2010


Hot day in the forest. Deer flies followed us as we strolled up to Guppy Falls. We heard and then saw a red bellied woodpecker in the woods. Went to the Cornell ornithology site, http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-bellied_Woodpecker/id, to listen to the call of this woodpecker. We saw this little blue eyed grass hiking up to the falls. Spring wildflowers have given way to blackberry flowers wherever a little sun gets to the forest floor.
