CT State Trails Day Family Bird walk — TIME AND LOCATION CHANGE: 7:30 am, Sunday, June 2, Sun, Wind and Woodlands Preserve, Canton.
Join HAS leader and science teacher Sarah Faulkner for a 1-2 hour beginner’s birdwalk for families on the Canton Land Trust’s beautiful Sun, Wind, and Woodlands Preserve. You’ll be introduced to birdwatching, learn to find and identify birds, and learn about apps on your phone to help you recognize birds. We’ll look for birds, discuss the ecosystems, and enjoy being in nature. Slow walking with some uneven footing (stepping over branches in places), about 1 mile in total. Bring binoculars, smart phone if possible, sturdy sneakers, insect repellent, water, and snack. Children ages 6 and older are welcome. Leader will have some binoculars to loan to participants if needed. Email leader to register. Please load the apps “Merlin” and “eBird” before coming. Both are free from Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The hike is also being offered also to the Canton Land Trust.
Questions and to register: Email sffaulkner@comcast.net. Limited to 20 participants.
