SUMMARY:Taylor Marsh (Joint trip with the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society)
DESCRIPTION:Taylor Marsh is a preserve owned by the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and located in Ontario County north of Honeoye Lake. It is best known for marsh birds\, including both American and Least Bittern and Virginia Rail. However\, the star attraction is the Sandhill Cranes that have been present in this area all year around for many years. Breeding has been confirmed. 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 Eastern Meadowlarks. It has a checklist of nearly 145 species that can be downloaded at https://bergenswamp.org/TaylorMarshBirdList_19_03_03.pdf. This is mostly a flat trail\, which can be muddy\, and has one very small shallow stream to cross. \nWaterproof boots are advisable. No restrooms available. \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. at the Taylor Marsh parking area on the west side of Allen’s Hill Road just south of Nighan Hill Road. From 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 onto Richmond Mills Road (Livingston County Road 41). It becomes Ontario County Road 15. Follow County Road 15 past County Road 37 and turn right at the next stop sign onto Allen’s Hill Road. (There is no road sign at the intersection.) \nLeaders: Lynn Braband 585-436-9388 and Jay Greenberg 585-256-0485 \n  \nRBA Field Trip Guidelines \nAll field trips go rain/snow or shine unless there is a travel advisory issued.

SUMMARY:Bergen Swamp
DESCRIPTION:A trip to this unique place is by special permit from the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and will feature nesting birds.

SUMMARY:Barnhart's Camp and Keeney Swamp
DESCRIPTION:We will be birding as we drive (and stop) throughout the diverse landscapes of northern Allegany County including Keeney Swamp. Grassland\, woodland\, pond and swampland species such as Prairie and Mourning Warblers\, Eastern Bluebirds\, Indigo Buntings\, and maybe a bittern could be seen. This trip generally goes all day so we can see as much as possible! \nMeet at 7:30 a.m. at the Shop-n-Save on Rt. 408 (Mt. Morris-Nunda Rd)\, Nunda\, New York\, where restrooms are available. Spotting scopes and FRS Radios would be useful. \nLunch at Barnhart’s camp is a trip tradition—they grill the hot dogs! Bring a dish to pass—your choice (but this is optional). \nLeaders: Jerry and Carolyn Barnhart 585-385-4026 and co-leaders Rick Stevens and Tom and Jeanne Verhulst 585-362-0803 \n  \nRBA Field Trip Guidelines \nAll field trips go rain/snow or shine unless there is a travel advisory issued.
