Birding with BANC & RBA

Powder Mills Park is a mature woodland and wetland park that can be productive for many late-migrating or nesting species. In recent years, Baltimore Orioles, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Scarlet Tanagers, Pileated Woodpeckers, and Red-tailed Hawks have all nested there. We will spend time around the hatchery, then drive to and walk the Daffodil Meadow trail (less than 2 miles total).

The trip will continue with a visit to the Burroughs Nature Sanctuary on Railroad Mills Road, where we’ll walk the trails around the woodland, wetland, and creek habitats. Recent nesting species there include Eastern Bluebirds, House Wrens, Eastern Phoebes, and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. Adjacent tree lines have produced a variety of migrating warblers. Both locations are mostly flat trails; waterproof footwear is advised. Restroom facilities will be available at the Sanctuary.

Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Powder Mills Park Fish Hatchery parking lot on Park Road, Pittsford, NY.
This is a joint field trip with the Rochester Birding Association.
