SUMMARY:Beginner Birder Trip - Owl Woods & Hawk Watch Site  **Rescheduled to Sunday\, March 15. Owl Woods closed March 21 for tree work**
DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled to Sunday\, March 15. Owl Woods closed March 21 for tree work \n  \nWe’ll look primarily for our smallest visiting owl\, the Northern Saw-whet\, which returns to this spot every year. Long-eared Owls generally put in an appearance\, too\, although they’re quite shy and great at hiding. After the owl walk\, we’ll head to the Braddock Bay Park Hawk Watch site to learn how to identify raptors on the wing. At this time of year\, we might witness flights of hundreds of raptors!  The Owl Woods trails are flat and likely will be wet and muddy. Boots are strongly recommended–they’re almost mandatory! No restrooms available. Bring binoculars and\, if you have them\, spotting scopes. \nMeet at 8:30 a.m. in the parking lot on the right side of Manitou Beach Road across from the Owl Woods trailhead. \nLeaders:  Doug and Elizabeth Rabjohns 585-690-6296 and co-leader Bridget Watts 585-615-1545  \nNote: This is a field trip for beginners. New birders should feel free to join these trips regardless of experience level: bring binoculars if you have them. The pace & focus of Beginner Trips may not be satisfying for experienced birders. Our Beginner Trips focus on teaching identification skills\, learning new habitats\, and answering questions. Experienced birders are welcome but may be pressed into service as educators \nRBA Field Trip Guidelines \nAll field trips go rain/snow or shine unless there is a travel advisory issued.
