SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Braddock Bay East Spit Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This trip was CANCELLED due to high Lake Ontario water levels.\n*** \nThe newly constructed barrier beach off what is known as the East Spit has become a major attraction for migrating shore birds.  In order to view them\, however\, we will need to get to the island by wading across a small channel that can be knee-deep water depending on the water level and wave action.  Wear boots or water shoes (not barefoot) and shorts or pants that roll up. \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. at the north end of the Westpoint Marina parking lot.  Exit the Ontario State Parkway at E. Manitou Road\, pass the Braddock Bay Park entrance and turn left at the Westpoint Marina (105 E Manitou Rd\, Rochester\, NY 14612).  Drive SLOWLY through the marina to get to the parking lot at the end of the lane.  Park ONLY in a parking spot\, not in the turn-around!  Additional parking is available in the public area just before the marina. \nExtra spotting scopes would be helpful.

SUMMARY:Beginner Trip: Charlotte & Badgerow Park
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be looking for shorebirds\, warblers\, and other fall migrants in Greece and environs.  We’ll look for gulls in many plumages and some shorebirds\, too at Charlotte Beach.  George W. Badgerow Park is a small area that offers good vantage points along pleasant trails\, with the occasional surprise rarity. \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. at Ontario Beach Park in Charlotte in the northeast corner of the parking lot\, beside the Genesee River outlet. Extra spotting scopes would be very helpful.  \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\, and we will share our scopes. 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!

SUMMARY:Letchworth State Park Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This trip frequently boasts more birds than any other RBA field trip. Of course\, it gets an early start!  We’ll look for birds not frequently seen on other trips\, such as Acadian Flycatcher and Barred Owl.  We’ll do a fair amount of walking–one somewhat steep but short forest trail and a dirt road down to the river level\, as well as some roadside birding. \nMeet at the west side (inside the park near the Rt. 36 entrance) Mt. Morris Dam Overlook parking lot at 5:30 a.m. Pack a lunch and snacks as the trip will likely last well into mid-afternoon. \nExtra spotting scopes and FRS radios would be very helpful.

SUMMARY:Bergen Swamp Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:A trip to this unique place is by special permit from the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and will feature nesting birds.  The mix of vegetation zones provides secluded nesting habitat for the usual western N.Y. species as well as those more characteristic of the Canadian zone such as Blue-headed Vireo\, Hermit Thrush\, Magnolia\, Blackburnian\, Black-and-White\, Canada and Nashville Warblers. \nThis is a walking trip of 3–5 miles on variably wet and slippery corduroy trails that must be followed closely for safety reasons and because of the fragile habitat. Sturdy boots (rather than sneakers) are STRONGLY recommended and hiking or ski poles may be useful.  Massasauga rattlesnakes are VERY rarely encountered. \nParking at the trailhead is limited\, so we will meet in the parking lot of the 7-11 Gas Station at the junction of Routes 33 and 19 at 7:30 a.m. \nDrive about 20 miles west of Rochester on I-490 to exit 2.  Turn right (west) on Route 33 and go about one mile to the junction with Route 19.  Turn left onto Route 19\, then make an immediate left turn into the parking lot.
