SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Cobbs Hill Park Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:***CANCELLED*** \nWith 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 en masse at this urban oasis of tall stately trees.  Pat will demonstrate birding by ear as we search for Yellow-rumped\, Black-throated Blue\, and Black-throated Green\, Nashville\, Black-and-white and Hooded 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.  Washington Grove is one of the best spring birding spots in the area. \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. opposite the reservoir in the grassy area between the road and the woods; use the Highland Avenue entrance\, just east of Monroe Avenue.

SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Beginner Birder Trip:  Lakeshore Warbler Hotspots
DESCRIPTION:***CANCELLED*** \nThe shoreline of Lake Ontario is a haven for migrating warblers and other passerines.  We will stop at several areas where these birds tend to congregate in spring.  Learn the basics of identifying our most colorful migrants on this trip.  We’ll be looking for color patterns\, song\, and the distinctive behaviors to enhance identification skills with these fast-moving beauties.  Several trails may be very muddy.  Waterproof boots are STRONGLY recommended! \nMeet at 7:30 a.m. at the parking lot behind Lakeview Community Church\, 30 Long Pond Road in Greece (near Edgemere Drive.). \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!

SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Amy's Pond & Woodsmith -- Genesee Land Trust / RBA Joint Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:***CANCELLED*** \nThis is a field trip to the private property of Janet Smith for spring migrants\, early nesters and waterfowl.  Two adjacent easements make up 187 acres that include two large ponds\, mature woodland\, and open fields all within 0.5 mile of Lake Ontario.  Past trips have yielded eagles\, bitterns\, herons\, many warblers\, Scarlet Tanagers\, etc.  We’ll walk along uneven trails\, so bring a walking stick if needed\, and prepare for a medium-long hike in an outstanding sanctuary open only by special arrangement — many thanks to Genesee Land Trust! \nMeet at 7:00 a.m. at Webster Park on the west corner of Holt and Lake Roads\, or at Amy’s Pond at 7:30 a.m.  To get to Amy’s Pond\, take Route 104 east to County Line Road.  Drive north until it ends at Lake Road.  Turn right and travel approximately one mile to 484 Lake Road\, Ontario\, NY and turn down the long gravel driveway (on the south side of Lake Road) until you reach the marked parking area.

SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Ontario Pathways Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:***CANCELLED*** \nWe’ll look for warblers and other spring migrants along this level\, rails-to-trails pathway in Ontario County.  This well-maintained trail is an established favorite for wildlife viewing and scenic views.  Wear comfortable walking shoes.  At times\, the weather can be fickle\, but we’ve seen better warblers in the snow on this trip than many trips get on sunny days. \nMeet at 7:00 a.m. in the Bushnell’s Basin Park and Ride lot (off NY Route 96 just south of Exit  27 from I-490). \nCarpool arrangements may be made before we commute to the trail area parking. \n  \n  \n
