December Members Meeting:

Members Share Their Photos and Artwork, December 11 at 7pm

December’s program will be the annual “fan favorite”, an RROS Member Sharing event. Please consider actively participating with a sample of your photos, bird recordings, bird artwork, stories, sketches, or any other bird-inspired offerings. Please e-mail Bob at bobhasenick@att.net by December 6 with your presentation ideas so he can arrange the program’s flow. This meeting will be in-person only. If you are bringing material to share on the computer, please bring your content on a USB stick or SD card. (Handy formats are PDF, DOC, PPTX, JPG). Plan on average share time of 4 minutes per presenter.

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.
