SUMMARY:Taylor Marsh (Joint trip with the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society)
DESCRIPTION:NEW! Eventbrite pre-registration for field trips has ended and is no longer available. \nTaylor Marsh is a preserve owned by the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and located in Ontario County north of Honeoye Lake. It is best known for marsh birds\, including both American and Least Bittern and Virginia Rail. However\, the star attraction is the Sandhill Cranes that have been present in this area all year around for many years. They are occasionally heard at Taylor\, although seldom seen. Taylor also has brush-shrub and wooded upland habitat with a good variety of spring migrants and breeding birds. An adjacent hay field is home to Bobolinks and meadowlarks. It has a checklist of well over 100 species\, and we usually rack up 40-50 in just a couple of hours. \nThis is mostly a flat trail\, which can be muddy\, but has one small stream with steep banks to cross.

SUMMARY:Woodcock Courtship Flight at Owl Woods
DESCRIPTION:NEW! Eventbrite pre-registration for field trips has ended and is no longer available. \nThis will be an evening trip for woodcock courtship flight. If you’ve never seen this spectacle\, prepare to be amazed: birds call noisily (peenting) from the ground in grassy fields before spiraling rapidly up high\, making twittering\, kissing-like sounds at the apex of their ascent and descending silently back down\, only to start the cycle anew. An amazing sight! Fields may be wet and muddy. Boots are strongly recommended. Bring a flashlight or headlamp. \nMeet at 7:00 p.m. in the parking lot across from Owl Woods. Take the Manitou Beach Road exit from Ontario State Parkway. Turn north then right into the large parking lot. \nLeader: Neal Reilly 518-256-9147 and co-leader Robert Buckert 585-269-4206 \n  \nRBA Field Trip Guidelines \nAll field trips go rain/snow or shine unless there is a travel advisory issued.

SUMMARY:Beginner Birder Trip - Owl Woods & Hawk Watch Site
DESCRIPTION:Registration begins at 7:30 p.m. on March 18\, 2023\, and ends at 1:00 p.m. on March 24\, 2023. \nWe’ll look primarily for our smallest visiting owl\, the Northern Saw-whet\, which returns to this spot on a yearly basis. 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 Hawk Watch site to learn how to identify raptors on the wing. At this time of year\, we might witness spectacular flights of thousands 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. \nLeader: Liz Magnanti 585-748-0309 and co-leaders Dick Horsey 585-435-2837 and Daena Ford  \n  \n2023 RBA Guidelines for Field Trips \nRBA field trips will abide by CDC (or NYS) health guidelines that might be in effect at the time of the field trip.  By registering for a field trip you are agreeing that you will also abide by those guidelines.
