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!
A driving tour of the farm fields and open lands to the West of Rochester, this trip will search for Snow Bunting, Lapland Longspur, Northern Shrike, and hawks in the plains and country roads of western Monroe and Orleans counties.
A leisurely winter walk featuring some very close looks at our winter passerines!
We’ll revisit the Nations Road area to look for Northern Shrike, hawks, Snow Bunting, and other birds of the fields and farmland in winter.
Southeastern Arizona is often considered the premier birding location in North America, with over 200 breeding species and a checklist of over 475 species. Join us for a virtual trek through desert scrubland, riparian canyons, and forested mountain ridges in our quest for this region’s special birds.
Warmer weather is on its way and with it, bird activity picks up. We’ll check water for ducks, fields for inland birds, and watch the skies for raptors as well.
Starting in Lima on the Pacific Coast, long-time RBA members and past RBA officers Diane Henderson and Lucretia Grosshans traveled by planes, trains, vans, taxis, buses, boats and even motorcars. What’s a motorcar? From sea level to 14,000 feet elevation they saw over 500 species of birds in three weeks (July 16 – August 3, 2014).
Starting at Hamlin Beach State Park we will be looking for migrating waterfowl. We will move to Braddock Bay Hawk Watch in hopes of spotting Rough-legged and Red-shouldered Hawk and eagles.
This extensive driving tour of the large natural area to our northeast always turns up some great birds! We’ll look for unusual ducks, late winter birds, and interesting migrants like Fox Sparrow.
We'll begin the morning at Irondequoit Bay Outlet looking for migrant waterfowl and gulls. After a thorough search we will move on to Durand Eastman Park for early migrants or lingering winter visitors.
We’ll look primarily for our smallest visiting owl, the Northern Saw-whet, which returns to this spot on a yearly basis. Long-eared Owl generally put in an appearance, too, although they’re quite shy and great at hiding.
