Two adjacent easements make up 187 acres that include two large ponds\, mature woodland\, and open fields all within 0.5 mi. of Lake Ontario.

SUMMARY:Taylor Marsh Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Taylor 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 local bittern and Virginia Rail.  However\, the star attraction is the 2-3 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. \nFrom Rochester\, take I-390 south to the Avon exit.  Turn left onto Routes 5&20 and go east.  In the town of Lima\, turn right onto Route 15 A and follow it south. Turn left onto Richmond Mills Road (Livingston County Road 41) east.  It becomes Ontario County Road 15.  Follow County Road 15 past County Road 37 and turn right at the next stop sign onto Allen’s Hill Road. (There is no road sign at the intersection.) \nMeet at 8:00 a.m.at the Taylor Marsh parking area on the west side of Allen’s Hill Road just south of Nighan Hill Road.

SUMMARY:Warbler Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a new or aspiring birder who wants help finding and identifying the most colorful birds of spring\, or an experienced birder who is looking for a quick trip on the way home from work\, Warbler Wednesdays are a perfect respite for busy people. \nJoin John Boettcher and the RBA each Wednesday evening in May\, for a quick trip.  We’ll meet at 6:00 p.m. in the parking lot of Lucien Morien Park\, located at 1135 Empire Blvd. in Penfield.  The park is at the south end of Irondequoit Bay\, just to the east of where Irondequoit Creek enters. We’ll bird from the access road that wanders up through the park\, examining the edges and adjacent wetlands nearby for migrating warblers and other passerines. While you may want sturdy shoes and bug spray\, you likely don’t need your full field wardrobe. \nNote:  The address will take you to the right venue\, but the pin on the map is in the wrong spot.  We’ll be meeting near MacGregors\, not up by Bay Towne. \n

SUMMARY:Cobbs Hill Park Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:With Spring in full swing\, come to one of Rochester’s best-kept birding secrets: Cobbs Hill Park’s Washington Grove. Colorful warblers and other spring migrants arrive en masse at this urban oasis of tall stately trees.  We will search for Yellow-rumped Warblers\, Black-throated Blue\, and Black-throated Green Warblers\, Nashville\, Black-and-white and Hooded Warblers among others. We will likely hear the flute-like Wood Thrush and see Hermit Thrushes searching the ground for food. Sparrows\, orioles\, and perhaps a Scarlet Tanager will make an appearance.  Washington Grove is one of the best spring birding spots in the area. \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. opposite the reservoir in the grassy area between the road and the woods; use the Highland Avenue entrance\, just east of Monroe Ave.

SUMMARY:Beginner Birder Trip:  Lakeshore Warbler Hotspots
DESCRIPTION:The shoreline of Lake Ontario is a haven for migrating warblers and other passerines. We’ll look for those early warblers\, such as Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers\, to whet our appetites for the weeks to come. We will stop at several areas where these birds tend to congregate in spring. Learn the basics of identifying our most colorful migrants on this trip. We’ll be looking for color patterns\, song\, and the distinctive behaviors to enhance identification skills with these fast-moving beauties.  Several trails may be very muddy\, so boots are STRONGLY recommended! \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. at the parking lot behind Lakeview Community Church\, 30 Long Pond Rd. in Greece (near Edgemere Dr.). \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!
