Birdhouse City is a quirky cluster of colorful handmade birdhouses along Macaulay Mountain trails — great for close-up detail, playful compositions and hillside panoramas with mixed forest backdrops. Visit spring and fall for foliage and nesting activity; golden hour softens colors and reduces harsh shadows. Access via Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area parking (no fee); trails are short but uneven, so bring footwear. Weekday mornings are least crowded.
