SUMMARY:Birding with Your Phone Workshop Report: 2-26-2022
DESCRIPTION:Birding with Your Phone Workshop\, 2-26-2022 \nEver go birding and see someone bent over their phone\, doing something about birds but you can’t tell what it is?  You’re not alone – many birders are using many apps to improve our skills and log our observations.  This was the impetus for creating our Birding With Your Phone workshop\, presented in February for our third year in a row\, and the second time to be held virtually over Zoom.  Ken Elkins of Audubon Connecticut once again expertly led our attendees through a variety of apps designed for smart phones.  He showed screenshots and provided navigating advice for a number of apps including the Audubon Field Guide\, Merlin\, iNaturalist\, BirdNet\, and the Warbler Guide\, among others.  He ended the program by giving tips about using eBird.  All in all\, it was another helpful\, informative workshop – thank you\, Ken! \nFor those of you who were not able to attend the workshop\, below is a link to a video to review: \nBirding With Your Phone workshop: \nhttps://youtu.be/0gubQ9jh2Zc \nSarah Faulkner

SUMMARY:Canceled- May 4\,2022 - Lewis Farm Sanctuary - Wednesday 8:30 am
DESCRIPTION:Canceled \nMay 4\, 2022 – Lewis Farm Sanctuary  – Wednesday –  8:30 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. \nPlease contact Abby if you have any questions:\nAbby Wolcott              abwol81@cox.net          860-436-7667 T
