Birding on the Trail & Eclipse Gazing!
October 14, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 1:30 pm
Genesee Valley Audubon Society and Rochester Accessible Adventures would like to invite everyone to join us at Mendon Ponds Park Saturday October 14th from 11:00am-1:30pm.
The event will offer you and your family a day to enjoy birds either while sitting overlooking a beautiful garden with bird feeders or taking a 1/2 to 1 mile hike on a natural path and possibly coaxing a bird or two to drop in your hand for a food offering of black oiled sunflowers and peanuts.
Participants will be able to sit by a lovely garden and enjoy the birds coming to the feeder and/or participate in the walk while a member of GVAS will be on hand to answer questions you might have regarding the birds you may be seeing and offer pointers for identifying them on your own in the future.
We will then meet up and experience the partial eclipse together and observe how the birds and wildlife are affected.
Binoculars and eclipse glasses will be available to borrow. Please bring your own if you have them.
Online Registration will be posted by the end of September at https://gvaudubon.org/activities/.

We will not complete the entire trail but go out and return on the same path avoiding the hill.
See you soon!
