SUMMARY:Cobbs Hill Park
DESCRIPTION:With spring in full swing\, come to one of Rochester’s best-kept birding secrets: Cobb’s Hill Park’s Washington Grove.

We will search for Yellow-rumped\, Black-throated Blue\, and Black-throated Green\, Nashville\, and Black-and-white 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. \nThe entrances into the grove have two short steep trails\, the main trails are gentle hills. No restrooms available. \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. opposite the reservoir in the grassy area between the road and the woods; use the entrance off Highland Avenue\, just east of Monroe Avenue (NOT the Nunda Blvd. entrance). \nLeaders: Tom and Jeanne Verhulst 585-362-0803\, Sue Robertson 585-427-2535 and Pat Martin 585-301-5485  \n  \nRBA Field Trip Guidelines \nAll field trips go rain/snow or shine unless there is a travel advisory issued.

SUMMARY:May:  Dr. Michael Schrimpf - "Studying Open-ocean Bird Distributions Using eBird"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 9\, 2024 – “Studying Open-ocean Bird Distributions Using eBird” \nDr. Michael Schrimpf \nPost-doctoral Fellow\, Cornell Lab of Ornithology \nDr. Michael Schrimpf is a seabird ecologist who grew up in Wisconsin\, and first developed an interest in birds in college. That interest\, combined with a desire to explore the oceans\, led to his graduate work with seabirds. He studied alcids like Common Murres and Rhinoceros Auklets on the West Coast while completing a master’s degree at the University of Washington\, and then began working in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean during his PhD work at Stony Brook University\, on Long Island\, NY. His current work at Cornell involves partnering with expedition cruise companies to understand how eBird data from ships can help map seabird distributions. \n  \nLook for the Zoom link in your email a few days prior to the meeting. The Zoom Room will open at 6:45 PM.  Don’t wait until the last minute to sign on\, you might be left out!

SUMMARY:Oatka Fish and Game Club
DESCRIPTION:The Oatka Fish and Game Club owns and conserves 500 acres of mature woodland forest along Oatka Creek and the escarpment tablelands above it that provide ideal habitat for migrating and nesting passerines. Thanks to the efforts of Jim Mott and Jim Miles\, Cerulean Warblers were documented as nesting there in 2022 and seen in 2023. The Club generously invited RBA to hold field trips. We will walk on the wide\, undulating\, forest trail above the creek and possibly up on the escarpment searching for remaining migrants and nesting birds including Scarlet Tanagers and Mourning Warblers. \nSturdy shoes are recommended.
