We’ll start by taking a walk through Durand Eastman Park. We’ll likely see a mix of winter passerines like woodpeckers, robins, chickadees, titmice, Cedar Waxwings, finches and cardinals, but with a little luck they’ll be supplemented by something special.
Join the Rochester Birding Association for the last Birds & Brews of the year! We will be meeting at Knucklehead Craft Brewery this month.
CANCELLED due to predicted icy road conditions.
For 119 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.
We’ll be looking for Tundra Swan, Canvasback, Redhead, and other waterfowl.
Sharpen your skills on wintering hawks and Short-eared Owl. Other wintering birds such as Horned Lark, Snow Bunting, and Lapland Longspur are often present.
Daniel Baldassarre is interested in evolutionary biology and biodiversity, and especially loves studying birds. To study avian biodiversity, he focuses on small populations of birds and looks for connections between unusual behaviors and broad-scale patterns.
Join us for the 120th Christmas Bird Count of the National Audubon Society and the 116th Rochester CBC. If you cannot bird in the field, watch your feeder and phone results to the area leader. We’ll pair new observers with experienced birders.
Participating in a Christmas Bird Count is an annual tradition for many birders, and this will be the 116th CBC in Rochester. In a Christmas Bird Count, birders try to count as many birds as possible within a particular “count circle.”
This year marks the 120th count nationwide and the 68th count for the area. The count date is Saturday, December 28, 2019. Birds seen during the count week of December 25 to January 2 may be called in to the leaders for inclusion in the tally.
Get started on your annual list!
In open areas of water, we’ll look for some of the spectacular waterfowl that visit each winter, and with luck even see a few rarities!
