SUMMARY:***CANCELLED***High Acres Nature Area Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:The RBA is committed to following NYS guidelines and directives regarding social distancing and the COVID-19 pandemic. \nCurrently\, all field trips\, meetings\, and birds-and-brews through the end of April are cancelled\, and we anticipate canceling events in May and June as well. As the situation is dynamic\, we will continue to monitor conditions and make changes to our schedule as needed. Should the situation improve and Governor Cuomo lift restrictions on gathering sizes\, we may reinstate currently cancelled trips. Visiting the event posting on our website is the surest way to tell if an event has been cancelled. \nWhile we are not currently able to bird together during this difficult time\, we encourage everyone to keep birding on their own. To keep yourself and others safe\, we remind you to follow best practices for social distancing: \n\nStaying close to home minimizes your exposure\, as long drives require more stops at gas stations and communal restrooms.\nBird alone or with others from your household; do not go birding with friends.\nAvoid birding in highly trafficked areas. Instead of crowding into the Owl Woods or piling on the Hawkwatch Platform\, find somewhere less populated. Visit https://rochesterbird.wpengine.com/birding-hotspots-map/\nto find other spots to bird\nAvoid touching shared surfaces like railings and benches.\nStay six feet away from others\, even outdoors.\nDo not share scopes\, binoculars\, or field guides.\nCarry a small bottle of hand sanitizer or some alcohol wipes with you.\n\nEnjoy the fresh air and migrating birds as spring unfolds. The sooner we all do our part to not spread the virus\, the sooner we can all enjoy being together again. \nStay well and safe\, \nLiz Magnanti\nPresident\, RBA \n***CANCELLED***Over 130 bird species have been observed at HANA including more than 70 that nest in the diverse habitats found there.  During this field trip we expect to see at least 40 species returning to nest or on their way to northern nesting grounds.  Our approximately 2 mile walk will explore about 250 acres at HANA and include some wet spots requiring ankle-high waterproof shoes or boots. \nWe will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the parking lot on Perinton Parkway approximately 1/4 mile east of the Waste Management offices.

SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Taylor Marsh Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:***CANCELLED*** \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 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. \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.  From 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).  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.)

SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Cobbs Hill Park Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:***CANCELLED*** \nWith 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.  Pat will demonstrate birding by ear as we search for Yellow-rumped\, Black-throated Blue\, and Black-throated Green\, 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 Avenue.

SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Beginner Birder Trip:  Lakeshore Warbler Hotspots
DESCRIPTION:***CANCELLED*** \nThe shoreline of Lake Ontario is a haven for migrating warblers and other passerines.  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.  Waterproof boots are STRONGLY recommended! \nMeet at 7:30 a.m. at the parking lot behind Lakeview Community Church\, 30 Long Pond Road in Greece (near Edgemere Drive.). \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:***CANCELLED*** 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 at 7:30 a.m. in the parking lot of the 7-11 Gas Station at the junction of Routes 33 and 19.  Drive 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.

Canceling is easily done through the Eventbrite website; see your confirmation email for details. \nHealth Screening Considerations: \n• Full contact information is required at registration\, in case contact tracing is requested. \n• No one who has a temperature of 100.4F or greater (without having taken any fever-reducing medications) should attend. \n• No one who has any COVID-19 symptoms (fever\, cough\, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing\, chills\, muscle pain\, sore throat\, or loss of taste or smell) should attend. \n• No one who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days or who has been instructed to self-isolate or quarantine should attend. \n• No one who has been in close (within 6 feet) or proximate (same closed environment\, but greater than 6 feet) contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or who has had symptoms of COVID-19 within the past 14 days\, should attend. \n• No one who has traveled or who lives with someone who has traveled to a country or state on the New York coronavirus travel advisory list in the last 14 days should attend. \n• Participants who test positive for the coronavirus within 14 days after attending a field trip are encouraged to contact the RBA. \nSocial Distancing and Safety Best Practices \n• Participants will be required to stay 6 feet apart at all times and wear a mask whenever they are outside of their car. \n• Participants that reside in the same household may share binoculars or scopes\, but we regret that otherwise optics cannot be shared. We realize this may be frustrating for those who do not have their own spotting scopes. To the extent possible\, we will choose birding locations that do not require advanced optics. \n• Participants are encouraged to keep hand sanitizer with them in case of accidental contact. \n\n\nWaive and Release from Liability: By registering for this field trip you acknowledge that you assume all risks and hazards incidental to the activities of the event\, including potential exposure to the novel coronavirus. You further release\, absolve\, hold harmless\, defend and indemnify the Rochester Birding Association\, Inc. and all individually named organizers\, leaders\, and participants of the event. In case of injury\, you hereby waive all claims against all organizers\, leaders\, and participants. \nPhoto/Video Waiver: If you do not consent to have your image used by the RBA in the manner next described\, write “no photo” after your name on the registration form. Otherwise\, by registering for this field trip you hereby grant permission to the Rochester Birding Association to take and publish photos or videos of you in connection with the event listed above\, with or without your name and for any lawful purpose including for example such purposes as publicity\, illustration\, advertising\, and web content.

SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Beginner Trip: Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the fall migration of shorebirds in this nearby birding treasure.  We’ll visit key spots you’ll want to revisit again and again! \nMeet at 1:00 p.m. in the Bushnell’s Basin Park and Ride lot.  The lot is off Route 96 just south of Exit 27 from I-490.  Alternatively\, meet up with the group at the first stop\, the Montezuma visitor center at 2:00 p.m. \nExtra 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!
