SUMMARY:Amy's Pond & Woodsmith -- Genesee Land Trust / RBA Joint Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This is a field trip to the private property of Janet Smith for spring migrants\, early nesters and waterfowl. 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. Past trips have yielded eagles\, bitterns\, herons\, many warblers\, Scarlet Tanager\, etc. We’ll walk along uneven trails\, so bring a walking stick if needed and prepare for a medium-long hike in an outstanding sanctuary open only by special arrangement — many thanks to GLT! \nMeet at Webster Park on the West corner of Holt and Lake Roads at 7:00 a.m. or at Amy’s Pond at 7:30 a.m. \nTo get to Amy’s Pond\, take Route 104 east to County Line Road.  Drive north until it ends at Lake Road.  Turn right and travel approximately one mile to 484 Lake Road\, Ontario\, N.Y. and turn down the long gravel driveway (on the south side of Lake Road) until you reach the marked parking area. \n

SUMMARY:May:  Eli J. Knapp\, PhD - "Birds Become Stories"
DESCRIPTION:Some spectacular birds turn the people who see them into birders. Others have a power even beyond that. Their unexpected appearance\, special attributes\, or sheer rarity attract birders to chase them\, often forsaking all else. Sometimes the birders get their bird. Just as often\, they miss. Succeed or fail\, every birder gets a tale to tell. Come listen as Eli Knapp shares excerpts from his new book\, The Delightful Horror of Family Birding. You’ll find out how birds teach us\, inspire us\, and best of all—become stories to share. \nEli J. Knapp\, PhD\, has had a fascination with wildlife ever since obsessively counting deer on his bus rides to school every morning as a kid.  His wildlife interests have put him into kayaks\, hot air balloons\, dilapidated land rovers\, and many pairs of hiking boots in search of new species and experiences.  When not watching birds\, Eli teaches courses in conservation biology\, wildlife behavior\, human ecology\, and Swahili where he is a tenured professor of intercultural studies and biology at Houghton College\, in western New York.  Each spring he takes 20-30 students to East Africa where he directs an annual study abroad semester.  His research interests spawn out of a three-year stint living in Serengeti National Park\, where he studied the coexistence of people and wildlife around protected areas.  Eli now enjoys sharing nature with his wife and three children\, and has chronicled his adventures in his first book: The Delightful Horror of Family Birding: Sharing Nature with the Next Generation (Torrey House Press)

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:RBA Young Birder Event:  Owl Woods & North Marina
DESCRIPTION:April is a great time for migrating raptors and passerines\, and we’ll take advantage of the timing by taking a walk through the Owl Woods.  We may see lingering Northern Saw-whet Owls and Long-eared Owls\, and we’ll search for a host of early-migrating passerines like Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Hermit Thrushes.  Afterwards\, we’ll take a walk down to the bay to scan for waterfowl.  The woods will be muddy\, so wear muck boots or wellies if you have them!

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!

SUMMARY:April:  Luke DeGroote - "Clear and present danger: Bird-window collisions"
DESCRIPTION:Smack! That’s the sound of a bird hitting a window—and you’ve probably heard it often. \nCollisions with windows cause millions of bird fatalities every year. But now there’s new hope for birds thanks to scientists at Powdermill Nature Reserve. Listen to Luke DeGroote share his findings from testing bird’s perception of patterned glass in a flight tunnel to collision monitoring in downtown Pittsburgh.  Before the end\, you’ll learn how to make your own windows safer for birds. \nLuke DeGroote received his MSc. in Natural Resources from Ohio State and B.S. in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Since 2012\, DeGroote has overseen Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s avian research programs including the operation of Powdermill’s Avian Research Center (www.powdermillarc.org) where he studies songbird migration\, avian disease\, breeding phenology\, and avian perception of glass.  DeGroote aims to promote avian conservation through research\, partnerships\, and outreach.  DeGroote and his research have been featured on NPR\, the Atlantic\, Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet\, and Audubon Magazine.

SUMMARY:March:  Greg Lawrence - "Restoring Wetlands for Birds: An overview of ongoing wetland restoration projects in the Braddock Bay WMA and how they’ll impact bird communities"
DESCRIPTION:The Braddock Bay Wildlife Management Area (WMA) includes a series of large barrier beach wetlands on the south shore of Lake Ontario\, just northwest of Rochester.  A combination of lake-level regulation\, introduction of invasive species\, increased development on adjacent land\, pollution\, and other factors led to degradation of these coastal wetlands over the last 100 years.  As part of an effort to de-list the Rochester Embayment as an Area of Concern\, state and federal agencies and their partners completed multiple wetland restoration projects in the Braddock Bay WMA.  Greg Lawrence\, research scientist in the Department of Environmental Science & Ecology at The College at Brockport\, will give an overview of the current and completed restoration projects in Braddock Bay WMA and how they aim to impact the bird communities in the coastal wetlands. \nGreg Lawrence is a research scientist in the Department of Environmental Science & Ecology at the College at Brockport.  He manages multiple wetland restoration and monitoring grants through various federal\, state\, and non-profit agencies focusing on Lake Ontario and eastern Lake Erie coastal wetlands.  His research interests include Great Lakes coastal wetland ecology\, restoration\, management\, and monitoring\, as well as bird population monitoring and conservation\, peatland ecology and restoration\, and grassland community ecology. \n

SUMMARY:February:  Charlie Cowling - "Early 20th Century Upstate New York Photographers Lead the Way in a New Method of ‘Collecting’ Birds in the Field"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring recently salvaged and digitized images from rare glass lantern slides\, Charlie Cowling\, archivist at SUNY Brockport\, will present images of New York birds taken by regional birders in the early 20th century. \nOur area was an important center in the development of modern birding and ornithology\, and the photographers that will be featured played a part in that history. Some\, like Arthur Allen of Cornell\, are remembered to this day. Others\, like Verdi Burtch of Penn Yan\, or Guy Bailey of Geneseo\, were prominent amateur naturalists and birders a century ago\, but are little remembered now. \nAny birder will enjoy both the images\, and hearing about the history of that era when birding transitioned from collecting skins with shotguns to using cameras and field glasses. \nCharlie Cowling is the college archivist at the SUNY College at Brockport. An archivist and librarian for many years\, he enjoys birding outside of work.

SUMMARY:RBA Young Birder Event:  Bird's Eye View of Raptors with the Fords
DESCRIPTION:Oftentimes when we’re observing raptors\, they are tiny specks a thousand feet overhead.  If we’re lucky\, we see them perched in a tree or on a light post.  This month\, we have the opportunity to see Braddock Bay Raptor Research’s educational raptors up close.   These ambassador birds are unable to be released into the wild due to past injuries\, but they do a fantastic job teaching eager audiences how awesome raptors are.  If the weather is fine\, we’ll take a short walk through Mendon Ponds Park after our close encounter of the raptor kind. \nContact Andrea Patterson for address.

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.
