SUMMARY:Beginner Trip: Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge - Registration Opens August 1\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the fall migration of shorebirds in this nearby birding treasure.  We’ll visit key spots you’ll want to revisit again and again!  There will be a number of stops during this mostly driving trip. Bring binoculars. \nRestrooms may not be available at the Visitor Center. \nMeet at 1:00 p.m. in the Bushnell’s Basin Park and Ride lot.  The lot is off Route 96 just south of Exit 27 from I-490.  Alternatively\, meet up with the group at the first stop\, the Montezuma visitor center at 2:00 p.m. \nBring binoculars and\, if you have them\, spotting scopes. \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. 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!  \nCOVID-19 Policies and Procedures\nUPDATED June 15\, 2021 (* major change) \nDue to the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the Rochester Birding Association is instituting the following procedures for all field trips.
