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.
