January’s Membership Meeting
January 14, 7:00 pm
Lisa Hug and friends will take us on tour to Africa! Some have heard bits and pieces of her journey and some of you have had the privilege to visit Africa already. In January, join Linda, Leah and Lisa for an evening presentation of their trip to Uganda in August of 2025. Their tour was co-led by Rockjumper Birding Tours and Avian Safaris of Uganda. In addition to birding by boat, on foot and safari-style, they also experienced spending up-close and personal time with Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees. “It was a trip of a lifetime, and we are excited to be able to share our experience with our friends at RROS”.
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 Ruth Rudesill by email at ruthier@sonic.net or text at (707) 337-6516.
Some field trips will be limited due to vehicle accessibility or physical constraints.
Wednesday Wanderings
This is a new opportunity to bird with RROS starting this year. One of our members will take us on a relaxed bird walk at their local patch or favorite place. These will be at a more casual pace, social, and perfect for new birders.
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.
