June 5th 8:30 AM: Letchworth SP RBA YBirders field trip lead by Naturalist, Elijah Kruger.

Letchworth is designated as an Important Bird Area, in part because of the great diversity of breeding birds. The park hosts perhaps more species of nesting warbler each year than any other place on Earth! Highlights of this trip usually include Hooded, Blackburnian and Black-throated Green Warblers, Louisiana Waterthrush, Blue-headed and Yellow-throated Vireos, and Scarlet Tanager, as well as chances to see rarities in our area such as Cerulean Warbler and Black Vulture.

Sept 16-17th Fri 6PM- Sat 6P. Montezuma MuckRace (Youth/Mentor Division).

Led by Rochester local mentors. Our Young Birders group won this event last year. Help us defend our title! Contact Lynnbergmeyer@gmail.com for additional details on these activities and YBirder group expansion.
