Oatka Creek Park Field Trip
Woods and meadow provide great habitat for nesting species such as Indigo Bunting, Eastern Towhee, Blue-winged Warbler, and Field Sparrow.
Trails at High Acres (Perinton Ponds Area) Field Trip
Over 130 bird species have been observed at HANA including more than 70 that nest in the diverse habitats found there. During this field trip we expect to see at least 40 species returning to nest or on their way to northern nesting grounds.
Where to Bird this Month: July
Summer is at its peak, but the start of “fall migration” is at hand. Southbound shorebirds are already moving through our area, as other species finish raising their young in the fields, woods, and marshes, and begin dispersing.
Nations Road Fields & Farms Field Trip
We will look for nesting bluebirds, Grasshopper and Vesper Sparrow, as well as meadowlarks, Bobolink, and maybe even a Red-headed Woodpecker.
Bergen Swamp Field Trip
A trip to this unique place is by special permit from the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society and will feature nesting birds.

Down the east side of the lake for a variety of nesting passerines, especially warblers and vireos. There will be a short walk at the south end of the lake but mostly we’ll drive-and-park along the shore.
Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge Field Trip
We will search for Prothonotary Warbler, Yellow-throated Vireo, Cerulean Warbler, and other nesting birds at this local natural treasure. We’ll drive to various spots in the Refuge and take an easy walk along one of the very scenic trails.
