SUMMARY:Taylor Marsh Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This is a new RBA field trip. Taylor Marsh is a preserve owned by the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society\, in Ontario County north of Honeoye Lake. It is best known for marsh birds\, including both local bittern and both local rail species. However\, the star attraction is the 2-3 Sandhill Crane 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 and follow Richmond Mills Road (Livingston County Road 41) east. It becomes Ontario County Road 15. Follow the latter past County Road 37 and turn right at the next stop sign onto Allens Hill Road. (There is no road sign at the intersection.) \nMeet at the Taylor Marsh parking area on the west side of Allens Hill Road just south of Nighan Hill Road at 8:00 a.m.

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 in masses to this urban oasis of tall stately trees. Pat Martin will demonstrate birding by ear as we stroll the quiet paths in search of Yellow-rumped Warbler\, Black-throated Blue and Black-throated Green Warbler\, Nashville\, Black-and-white\, and Hooded Warbler\, and\, if we are lucky\, the elusive Cerulean Warbler\, among others. We will likely hear the flute-like Wood Thrush and see Hermit Thrush searching the ground for food. Sparrows\, orioles\, and perhaps a Scarlet Tanager and a Barred Owl will make an appearance. Washington Grove is one of the best spring birding spots in the area. \nMeet at 8:00 AM in the grassy area between the road and the woods near the reservoir\, up the road from the entrance off Highland Avenue just east of Monroe.

SUMMARY:Beginner Birder Trip:  Lakeshore Warbler Hotspots
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of identifying our most colorful migrants on this trip\, which will stop at several areas where these birds tend to congregate in spring. We’ll be looking for color patterns\, song\, and the distinctive behaviors that enhance identification skills with these fast-moving beauties: several trails may be very muddy\, so boots are strongly recommended! \nMeet at the parking lot behind Lakeview Community Church\, 30 Long Pond Rd. in Greece (near Edgemere Dr.) at 7:30 a.m. \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: Dr. Susan Smith Pagano - "Plantings for Migratory Bird Habitat\, Creating a Bird Friendly Yard"
DESCRIPTION:Arrowwood Virburnum \nFruits are an important dietary component for many songbirds during autumn migration. However\, not all fruits are created equal in terms of their nutritional quality. Dr. Susan Smith Pagano will summarize her ongoing research on the nutritional properties of fruits from local native and exotic plants\, and she will also discuss the importance of planting or maintaining appropriate fruiting shrubs in support of migrating birds. \nDr. Susan Smith Pagano is an Associate Professor of Biology at Rochester Institute for Technology. Dr. Pagano is a physiological ecologist who studies the dynamic relationships between fuel utilization\, physiological condition and diet quality in migrating songbirds at stopover sites. Recent work has focused on an assessment of refueling physiology and diet in Catharus thrushes migrating through the Braddock Bay area\, and outcomes of the work have been used to inform habitat management and conservation. In addition to her work at RIT\, Dr. Pagano is a Research Associate affiliated with the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory and is Vice-President of the Board of Directors.  She is actively involved in professional service and serves on two journal Editorial Boards and is an elected Council member for the Wilson Ornithological Society. \nDr Susan Pagano

SUMMARY:Owl Woods ("Pear Orchard") Woodcock Courtship Flight Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This is an evening trip for woodcock courtship flight. If you’ve never seen this spectacle\, prepare to be amazed: birds call noisily from the ground in grassy fields before spiraling rapidly up high\, descending back down in a zig-zagging noisy frenzy only to start the cycle anew. An amazing sight! \nMeet in the parking lot on the right side of Manitou Beach Road just off the Lake Ontario State Parkway and across from the Owl Woods trail head at 7:00 p.m. The Owl Woods Trails may be wet and muddy in spots. Boots are STRONGLY recommended.

SUMMARY:RBA March 9 Meeting - Greg Lawrence - Grassland Birds
DESCRIPTION:Grassland birds have declined more than any other suite of birds in the Northeast over the past 40 years. Management agencies and conservation groups have now identified grassland bird management and conservation as a priority. Greg will discuss the history of grassland breeding birds and their habitats in New York State\, as well as their management and conservation. He will provide an overview of grassland bird research and expand upon his own research on grassland birds in the state. He also will discuss future directions and controversies for grassland bird conservation in the region. \n \nGreg Lawrence is a graduate student at SUNY Brockport studying grassland community ecology\, with a focus on grassland breeding bird management and conservation. He currently works for Ecology & Environment\, Inc.\, and has previously worked as a grassland bird technician with the NYS DEC\, and on multiple research grants/projects at SUNY Brockport. He also serves on the board of the New York State Ornithological Association and Bergen Swamp Preservation Society. He has been an active birder in the area and member of the Rochester Birding Association since 2005\, starting as a young birder. He has led numerous field trips and given two previous talks for RBA.

SUMMARY:December:  "Gulls and Terns of Upstate New York" - Brad Carlson
DESCRIPTION:An overview of the species of gulls and terns that frequent Upstate NY\, including “hot spot” birding locations to find these species\, some identification tips including reference materials\, and a few highlighted rarities that have been located in our area. \nBrad Carlson was raised in Rochester\, NY and started birding at a young age.  His early birding involved day trips with his father and brother along the southern shore of Lake Ontario at Braddock Bay\, “Island Cottage Woods”\, Oak Orchard and the Niagara River.  After graduating from RIT\, Brad began birding all the major birding “hotspots” throughout North America.  Later\, he expanded this further to bird on a global scale exploring parts of Europe\, South America\, Asia\, and Africa.  In 1993\, he took up bird photography\, and subsequently has taken thousands of bird photos documenting his life list\, recording rarities and developing a library of photos to utilize for bird slide shows for local organizations.
