NEW! Eventbrite pre-registration for field trips has ended and is no longer available.
The town of Rush has recently acquired a new patch of land containing old-growth woods, farm fields in various stages of succession, and a mile of Genesee River frontage. Join us as we explore this “new” birding spot. Trails may be wet and muddy, so waterproof shoes/boots are recommended.
No restrooms available.
Meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Monroe County Fair Site, 6565 East River Rd, Rush, NY. Park and meet in front of the large barn straight in and just to the left of the entrance road.
Leader: Ann McMican 585-533-1222 and co-leaders Sue Robertson 585-427-2535, Nick Kachala 585-750-5536
