SUMMARY:A.W. Stanley Park Bird Walk - October 20\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Oct 20     A.W. Stanley Park\, New Britain  – Sun 9:30 am \n 2159 Stanley St\, New Britain\, CT \n Park in the lot across from the pool building. \n (Note this is NOT Stanley Quarter Park\, also in New Britain) \nA.W. Stanley Park is a New Britain gem\, hosting a diverse community of resident and migratory birds\, with mixed species foraging flocks assembling in October.  We will take a ~2-mile route\, walking on paved and unpaved trails through forested and open areas around the pond\, including a small hill and a cliff overlook\, and returning beside a stream bordering a marsh.  With luck\, the maples will be putting on a colorful display.  If you download the free Merlin Bird ID app to your smartphone in advance\, (https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/download/)\, you can try out its Sound ID on the birds we hear.  Dress appropriately for the weather. We will probably spend a couple of hours in the park\, with many stops.  A 2014 trail guide includes parts of our route; parts of the trail have been re-routed\, and some features have changed (https://visitnbct.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AW-Stanley-Trail-Guide.pdf).The trip will be cancelled or rescheduled if it’s raining; call to ask if the weather seems borderline. \nSylvia Halkin               halkin@ccsu.edu                    860-985-7343 T
