November Members Meeting:
Birding Cuba, November 13 at 7pm
Presenter: Gene and Nancy Hunn
Cuba is a short hop south from the Florida Keys but oceans away due to our pained conflicted history. We joined a WFO sponsored nine-day tour in January 2023, sanctioned as a humanitarian/scientific exchange. We successfully targeted some two-dozen Cuban endemic bird species. We explored three ecologically diverse regions guided by a leading Cuban herpetologist and a sympathetic and knowledgeable cultural guide. Our accommodations were in comfortable private home B&Bs. More than a bird tour, it was a fascinating cultural exchange.
Where: The Fellowship Room of the First United Methodist Church, 1551 Montgomery, Santa Rosa. The Fellowship Room is located at the west (left when facing the church) end of the church.
Consider meeting-up ahead of time at Mary's Pizza on Summerfield Road at 5:30 pm for a casual, informal get-together before heading over to the 7 pm meeting in the First United Methodist Church.

RROS Field Trips
You do not need to be a member to attend our trips. We’d love you to join RROS (we could use the money), but come out with us anyway.
There are no reservations required, though you are encouraged to RSVP for all trips. If you RSVP you will automatically be shared on the group eBird list. To RSVP, contact Garrett Pierce by email at garrettallenpierce@gmail.com or text at (415) 260-7406.
Some field trips will be limited due to vehicle accessibility or physical constraints.
YAMS Field Trips
These outings are for the young members of YAMS and their guardians only. All field trips meet at 8:30am at the site unless otherwise denoted. Many are half-day excursions ending at 12:30pm with a group lunch and field trip bird list compilation. Some are all-day excursions. As always, bring binoculars, water, snacks, lunch, plenty of layered clothing, and field guides.
