SUMMARY:Bergen Swamp Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:A trip to this unique place is by special permit from the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and will feature nesting birds. The mix of vegetation zones provides secluded nesting habitat for the usual western N.Y. species as well as those more characteristic of the Canadian zone such as Blue-headed Vireo\, Hermit Thrush\, Magnolia\, Blackburnian\, Black-and-white\, Canada\, and Nashville Warbler. \nThis is a walking trip of 2–5 miles on variably wet and slippery corduroy trails that must be followed closely for safety reasons and because of the fragile habitat. Sturdy boots (rather than sneakers) are STRONGLY recommended and hiking or ski poles may be useful.\nMassasauga rattlesnakes are VERY rarely encountered. \nParking at the trail head is limited so we will meet in the parking lot of the 7-11 (formerly a Sunoco Station) at the junction of Routes 33 and 19 at 7:30 a.m. Drive about 20 miles west of Rochester on I-490 to exit 2. Turn right (north) on Route 33 and go about one mile to the junction with Route l9. Turn left (west) and then immediately left into the parking lot.

DESCRIPTION:On the east-side\, Powder Mills Park is a mature woodland park that can be productive for many species of late migrating or nesting warblers and other songbirds; Blue-winged Warbler\, Baltimore Oriole\, Rose-breasted Grosbeak\, and Scarlet Tanager have all nested there. \nThe trip will continue on to the Auburn Trail\, which recent reports suggest is still likely to offer a good mixture of warblers\, sparrows\, and other migrants and nesting birds even after reconstruction. \nMeet at the Powder Mills Park Fish Hatchery parking lot on Park Road at 7:30 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 illusive 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.

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!
