This online registration system allows you to review and electronically sign the Agreement if you do not have one on file. If you would prefer to manually sign a printable version of the Agreement, you may access it here, and present it to the leader before trip start. If you choose this option, please contact your leader to assure you are signed up for the trip.
Please note: Each person, including each family member choosing to sign the Agreement electronically must login and have a separate account so that the agreement is tied to the individual.

Habitats to bird: Developed, Grassland, Reservoir
Join us for a morning of early winter birding at Aurora Reservoir. At this time of year the reservoir will be hosting an array of dabbling ducks, diving ducks, geese, and possibly a rare gull. The surrounding vegetation could also yield a array of smaller wintering birds. We will meet at the Aurora Reservoir entrance on Powhaton Road. There is a $10 park entrance fee per car. We can carpool into the park to save cost; please plan to share cost of the entry fee. We will head to the dam hopefully catch any waterfowl flocks flying out for the day. Bring a spotting scope if you have one, and the leader will have a scope to share. From there, we will visit other areas of the reservoir and walk along gravel and paved paths to see other birds of grassland, brushy areas and riparian, maybe spotting sparrows, a shrike and raptors. This trip is given a moderate rating for potential cold and wind exposure.
