I birded Seneca through the migration. The best trail I found is is located
at the edge of the visitor center parking lot nearest the entrance. It leads
on to the power line right-of-way which was good for blackpoll and prairie
warblers, yellowthroats, towhees and an occasional cuckoo. The trail then
follows Seneca creek which is good for thrushes, acadian flycatchers and
vireos. The trail loops and comes back on to the powerline along a stream
which is heavily vegetated. I spent soem time at this spot during the spring
and I saw white eyed vireos, indigo buntings, prairie warblers towhees and
song sparrows. You can return to the woods from there or continue along the
powerline.
I highly recommend the site as well as the Meadowside Nature Center by Lake
Frank.
Good Luck!
