EAGLE WATCH at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and more: 2/1/2020

Betty and I went to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge for the EAGLE WATCH, which was part of the IO Palooza event today.  She picked me up and we drove to the Visitors Center on Casey Road.  There were several things going on in this building, and they were offering pieces of cake. The event was a celebration of the  20th year of Iroquois Observations.

  We had cake, walked around a bit and went into the gift shop.  We got directions to the location of the Eagle Watch from a worker and then headed to the Cayuga Overlook.

They had scopes set up for visitors to see the eagle and the nest.

  I took this picture through the scope.

We wanted to hike a bit so we got directions from the ranger how to get to a certain trail, but we could not find the road to it.  

We headed to the Tonawanda Indian Reservation so we could have lunch at Jan's Sah-Da-Ko-Nee Restaurant.  We entered the reservation via Bloomingdale Road, the road the restaurant is on, but since there were very few road signs with road names, we made a wrong turn and ended up at the other end of the reservation.  We eventually found our way to Jan's.  

I had a club sandwich and Betty had sloppy joes with fresh cut fries.    Our meals were good, and our server was friendly.  She told us how to get to Akron.

While driving through Akron, I saw a street sign for ICE CREAM PLAZA.  We turned and found the PERRY'S ICE CREAM FACTORY.  

Then we headed back to Lockport.
