September’s Membership Meeting
September 19 2:00 pm
Note: this a different day from our previous membership meetings. We are hoping to include YAMS by holding it on a Saturday.
Our first RROS business meeting will be at our annual Fall outdoor Pot-luck at Spring Lake Regional Park, Saturday, September 19, 2:00 - 5:00 pm. We'll gather at the Oak Knolls picnic tables. The youthful YAMS crowd will join and merriment will ensue with Birding Bingo, and more.
Please bring a dish—salad, main, or dessert, for all to share. Bring your own libations and a camp chair if you love to sit around and talk avian stuff with others.
We'll hold a brief Members' Meeting outlining upcoming speakers and field trips. See you at Spring Lake, 2 pm, Saturday September 19, Oak Knolls picnic tables. Enter the Park via Newranga Av. (5585 Newranga Avenue). Stay to the right on the road. Our tables will be to your left on the knoll. Look for signs, and brightly colored tablecloths. Or, call BJ at 707 738-5563.
RROS takes July and August off as a summer break. Check back before September for our ongoing activities.

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. 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 another opportunity to bird with RROS. 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.
