Hartford Crow Roost Field Trip – December 5, 2026

Hartford Crow Roost – Dec 5 – Sat 4 pm

Meet at Hartford Housing Authority parking lot at 180 John D.
Wardlaw Way (a.k.a. Overlook Terrace), Hartford. DIRECTIONS:
From Flatbush Ave., turn south onto Newfield Ave., go past Charter
Oak Marketplace shopping plaza, and then turn east at the stoplight
intersection of Newfield & John D. Wardlaw Way, and park in the lot
next to the building at the end of the street.

Watch for AllHAS message the week prior because the roost site may change
Watching thousands of crows return to their nightly roost is an exciting
winter spectacle. The roost tends to be near the Hartford/West
Hartford boundary, often within sight of I-84.

I’ll be tracking the roost location and will update the meeting place using the AllHAS e-mail if the crows have moved to a new area. Be prepared to drive around
some after we meet to see crows flying in from different directions.
Dress quite warmly (including hats, gloves, and warm footwear): we
will often be standing still. The crow show will probably last a little
over an hour.

Trip will be cancelled or rescheduled if snow or rain is falling or the weather is otherwise dangerous; call to ask if the weather seems borderline.
