FIELD TRIPS:

Field Trips are open to the public. Beginners are welcome.

There is no charge for most club trips. Attendees are responsible for their own meals, travel expenses and accommodations, when applicable.

Members and non-members can email us at: hartfordaudubon at yahoo.com. Your inquiry will be appropriately routed to the trip leader in charge who will call you back to answer your questions.

Note to Members: Please consult the membership booklet for more details on these trips. Please inform the leaders if you plan to join the group. Pouring rain generally cancels a trip, but it may not be raining at the trip site, so call.

The Hartford Audubon Society Board would like to remind and encourage its members to take seriously the Aims of this organization to promote conservation of our natural resources and car pool whenever possible.

Fisher Meadow, Avon

Fisher Meadow is a great place to see spring migrants. This park offers a nice mix of habitats that include fields, woodlands, shrubland, and a large pond. Bird species such as Orchard Oriole, Yellow-throated Vireo and American Redstart all nest here, while Brown Thrasher and Osprey are typically seen during migration. Mourning Warbler has been seen here in the past. This is an easy stroll around the pond and should be enjoyable for all levels of birders. Meet in the Fisher Meadow parking lot off Old Farms Rd in Avon at 7:00 AM.
