SUMMARY:Lewis Farm Sanctuary - Bird Walk - Wednesday - 5/1/2024
DESCRIPTION:8:30 to potentially 11:30 am \n1035 Hill St\, Suffield \nPark off road on WEST side only (by sign for Sanctuary) \n Use caution: poor sight line for passing cars \nPlease join Abby on a trip through this slice of heaven on Hill Street. The Audubon property has been near and dear to Abby’s heart since she was old enough to follow her 3 brothers down the hill in search of wildlife. Now\, decades later the sanctuary still calls her name.  She has sought out the quiet trails on days when she has had a heavy heart and on those days when her world was full of joy.So bring your binoculars\, apply some bug spray and wear light hikers as we set off on the beautifully maintained trails in this sanctuary.  We will cover mixed terrain of low hills and mostly dry trails\, crossing a babbling brook and meandering around a pond.   We will keep our eyes peeled for warblers and other spring birds.  When our necks are tired from scanning the treetops\, we can admire the variety of wildflowers that sprout up near the trail. Join us  for a couple of hours as we explore this very special property. \nAbby Wolcott            abwol81@cox.net                860-436-7667 T

SUMMARY:Sachuest Point RI Bird Trip - Sunday - 3/24/2024
DESCRIPTION:8:30 am to approximately 1:30 pm \n769 Sachuest Point Rd\, Middletown\, RI \nSachuest Point Visitor Center parking lot \nGPS Coordinates 41.479909\, -71.243489 \nIf you are looking for colorful\, easy to see birds\, then Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge is the place to be. The refuge is home to the second largest wintering population of harlequin ducks on the Atlantic coast. The harlequins\, named after the clowns they resemble\, can be seen along the refuge’s rocky shoreline between November and March each year. By scanning the coastline\, visitors may also see loons\, eiders\, and gannets. More than 200 bird species visit the refuge seasonally\, and other occasional migrating travelers include the peregrine falcon\, northern harrier\, as well as snowy and short-eared owls. Walking the nearly 3 miles of trails around Sachuest Point offers visitors the opportunity to experience several habitats where interesting animals and plants can be observed and photographed. The refuge includes 40 acres of salt marsh lands and steep rocky shorelines around the perimeter. Most visitors enjoy year-round birdwatching\, and elevated observation platforms along the trails provide unobstructed views of the refuge. A short distance away at Third Beach is our recently restored salt marsh habitat\, a new birding “hotspot” and a favorite of birders and non-birders alike.  Dress Warmly and bring a lunch. \nPaul DesJardins     Paul.Desjardins2@gmail.com     860-623-3696

SUMMARY:Hartford Crow Roost - Bird Experience - Saturday - 12/9/2023
DESCRIPTION:4 pm – 5 pm \nWal-mart Supercenter (also called Charter Oak Marketplace) Parking Lot \n495 Flatbush Ave\, Hartford – Park in the row of spaces closest to Newfield Ave\, \njust NW of the NW corner of the Wal-mart Store \nWatching thousands of crows return to their nightly roost is an exciting winter time event.  We’re never sure where the roost will be each night\, but it’s been near here the last several years.  If we can’t see the incoming crows from where we parked\, we will car pool from there.  If the roost is far away in the weeks before Dec. 9\, I’ll update the meeting place using AllHAS.  Dress quite warmly (including warm footwear): we will mostly be standing in one place.  This will probably last about 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. \nSylvia Halkin            halkin@ccsu.edu                860-985-7343 T
