Rosie was quiet as a mouse. The only noise came from my boots slapping in the mud here and there as we walked the Bluebird Haven Trail this week in Victor. We didn’t see a bluebird, but I believe we would have if we had been able to stay longer.
Signs of them were everywhere.
The one-mile loop trail is in the 39-acre MaryFrances Bluebird Haven, on Victor-Egypt Road (across from the Valentown Road intersection).
Bluebird boxes are strategically placed throughout the sanctuary to provide bluebirds with cozy, protected places to nest. The park is all about preservation and restoration of bluebirds, New York state s official bird.

Where are the photos of wildlife?
If you have a hound like Rosie at home, best leave her there if you want to get a close-up of creatures in the West River Marsh wildlife management area south of Canandaigua Lake. We pulled into the parking area on Parish Road off Route 245 along the Ontario/Yates County border to get a quick look at a family of waterfowl.
Whether they were ducks, geese or some other water-happy creature, I couldn’t tell you. Rosie went wild and these good-looking sorts took off into the wetland world safe from the likes of her. (She didn’t stand a chance; besides, it’s bears she wants).
