SUMMARY:RBA Young Birder Event:  Ducks - Where is the White?
DESCRIPTION:Ducks are awesome\, and lucky for us\, they are abundant in Rochester even in the winter.  Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes team with mergansers\, scaup\, scoter\, Long-tailed Ducks\, Redheads\, Common Goldeneye\, and more even on the coldest days.  They are easy to watch because (except for the divers) they generally don’t move too quickly\, and they are pretty easy to identify once you know what to look for. \nWe’ll start this meeting at the home of the Kunz family\, who live on the shore of Lake Ontario.  We’ll learn how to identify swimming ducks by focusing on features like behavior\, head shape\, bill length\, and the all important “where is the white?”  If the weather cooperates\, we’ll be able to head over to the bay and practice our ID skills.  If the weather is crummy\, we’ll look for ducks and gulls from the window\, and we’ll play games and trivia.  We’ll also have a quick update on the summer birding camps that take place across the US and the scholarships available to help pay for them. \nContact Andrea Patterson for address.

SUMMARY:March RBA - Young Birder Event - Sunday\, March 18\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:The weather is always unpredictable in March\, so we’ll be spending most of our meeting indoors at the home of the Kunz family\, who lives right on the lakeshore.  We can watch gulls and ducks from their enormous windows\, and we can play birding games in the comfort of a warm house.

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count for Kids - Saturday\, December 9th\, 2017
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nCome help us count the birds that make their winter homes in Mendon Ponds!\nFor 117 years\, adults have counted birds every winter as part of the annual Christmas Bird Count\, and now it’s time for kids to join the fun! 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. Thanks to all our volunteers for supporting this event! \nMore questions? Contact Andrea Patterson at andrea.j.patterson-at-gmail.com. \n\nREGISTER NOW AT EVENTBRITE >>

SUMMARY:Young Birder Field Trip:  Durand Eastman Park
DESCRIPTION:Believe it or not\, mid-November can be an interesting time of year for birds!  Winter waterfowl and songbirds are arriving in large numbers\, and at the same time lingering half-hardy passerines can be found skulking in isolated pockets.\n\nThis month we’ll start by taking a walk through Durand Eastman Park.  We’ll likely see a mix of common winter passerines like woodpeckers\, robins\, chickadees\, titmice\, Cedar Waxwings\, finches and cardinals\, but with a little luck they’ll be supplemented by something special.  While only seen once or twice\, Bohemian Waxwing\, Red Crossbill\, White-winged Crossbill and Pine Grosbeak have all put in appearances in the park during November!\n\nAfter we’ve worn out our walking legs\, we’ll take a quick drive to the Irondequoit Bay Outlet where we should be able to get good looks at several species of waterfowl and gulls.  Long-tailed Ducks\, Bufflehead\, Common Goldeneye\, three mergansers\, and other ducks are sometimes joined by loons\, scaup\, scoters and grebes.  The platoons of Ring-billed Gulls are joined by Herring\, Bonaparte’s\, and Great Black-backed Gulls.\n\nFor Young Birders only.   Interested kids are welcome to join at no cost.\n\n\nMeeting Place:  Meet in the Lake Shore Blvd. parking lot between Zoo Road and Log Cabin Road (Parking Lot D) \nRBA Leader:  Andrea Patterson (cell – 585-490-5361)\nBirding Leader:  Lynn Bergmeyer (cell – 585-576-0422) \nRBA Youth Leader:  we need a volunteer! \n\nPhoto credit: Cedar Waxwing – Lakeview Church Trail – © Jeanne Verhulst – May 18\, 2016

SUMMARY:Young Birder Event: Hamlin Beach Lakewatch
DESCRIPTION:Dust off your scopes\, because this month we’re going on a lakewatch! 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
