On August 13, 2016 the RBA hosted a Shorebird ID workshop. Led by Dominic Sherony and attended by 40 area birders, the workshop revealed a systematic approach to the identification of area shorebirds. In the last two years, many area birders have submitted images to RBA of area shorebirds. We have grouped those images similar to how they were grouped in the recent workshop.
NOTE: this page is in DRAFT form awaiting an internal review of bird IDs. If you challenge any of the IDs, please let us know immediately at info@rochesterbirding.org.
