All children must be accompanied by an adult\, and registration is required. \nWhat to bring?\nPlease come prepared for the weather and bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them. Some additional binoculars and guides will be available for use at the event. We’ll have hot chocolate and light snacks on hand\, but help us save a tree by bringing your own mug! \nFussy details . . .\nWe’ll meet at Braddock Bay Bird Observatory\, located at 10 Braddocks Ave in Hilton. Take the Lake Ontario State Parkway to Manitou Beach Road\, and head towards the lake. Take a left on Braddocks Ave\, and follow it to a gravel driveway which leads to our parking lot. \nThis Christmas Bird Count for Kids is sponsored by the Rochester Birding Association and its Young Birders Program\, and by Braddock Bay Bird Observatory.  Thanks to all our volunteers for supporting this event! \nMore questions?

The Christmas Bird Count for Kids is a family-friendly bird-watching event that builds bird identification skills and contributes to scientific bird count data. \nThe adventure starts with a short indoor lesson to introduce the local birds and to practice using binoculars. We’ll then head outdoors to count the birds! Experienced birders will lead small teams of kids (and their parents) on different routes throughout Mendon Ponds Park\, as we attempt to find as many birds and as many species as possible. Each survey route will be 45-90 minutes (depending on the weather!)\, and at the end all the teams will meet up to tally their birds and to compare sightings. \n\nREGISTER NOW AT EVENTBRITE >>\n\nWho can come?\nWe welcome both beginning and advanced birders up to age 18\, but note that very young children may not be suited for this particular event. All children must be accompanied by an adult\, and registration is required. \nWhat to bring?\nPlease come prepared for the weather and bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them. Some additional binoculars and guides will be available for use at the event. We’ll have hot chocolate and light snacks on hand\, but help us save a tree by bringing your own mug! \nFussy details . . . \nWe’ll meet in the education room of Wild Wings\, located at 27 Pond Road – next to the Mendon Ponds Park Visitor’s Center. \nThis Christmas Bird Count for Kids is sponsored by the Rochester Birding Association and its Young Birders Program.

Join us as we work with local expert Andy Guthrie to find migrating waterfowl\, gulls\, and passerines at Hamlin Beach State Park. \nWe’ll start by looking out over the lake for waterfowl and gulls. New birders can get fantastic looks at ducks in the water\, and more experienced birders will find it a fun challenge to identify the fly-bys. Whether you can’t tell the difference between a duck and a goose\, want to learn the difference between the different scoters\, or are interested in scanning the horizon for the elusive jaegers\, this trip has something for everyone! \nAs we’re scanning the water\, we’ll also be watching and listening for passerines overhead. Flocks of winter birds – Horned Lark\, Snow Buntings\, Lapland Longspurs\, and a mix of finches are a welcome noisy distraction. If the lake is slow\, we may take a walk through the trails at Hamlin Beach looking for lingering migrants and newly arriving wintering passerines. \nWe’ll meet at 8:00 AM in Parking Area 4. Binoculars are helpful and we’ll definitely be using scopes\, but birders without scopes will be happy to know that our experienced crew is good about sharing. The event is free and open to any kids (and their parents) interested in birding. Unless prior arrangements are made\, parents must stay with their children for the duration of the trip. \nFor additional information\, contact Andrea Patterson URL:https://rochesterbirding.org/event/young-birder-event-hamlin-beach-lakewatch/ LOCATION:Hamlin Beach State Park\, 1 Camp Hill Road\, Hamlin\, NY\, 14464\, United States CATEGORIES:Young Birder Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://rochesterbirding.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/52085538891_6026fcdbbf_w.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="RBA Young Birder Club":MAILTO:andrea.j.patterson@gmail.com GEO:43.3599959;-77.944401 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hamlin Beach State Park 1 Camp Hill Road Hamlin NY 14464 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Camp Hill Road:geo:-77.944401,43.3599959 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
