The Audubon Shop: Spring Migration Walks
May 7 @ 7:30 am - 10:30 am
$6
Madison, CT 06443 United States
Join Scott and Co. for a small group Wednesday Spring Migration Bird Walk at Hammonasset, one of Connecticut’s premier birding “hot spots”.
Hammonasset Beach State Park here in Madison is widely regarded as one of the premier birding spots in CT, and springtime migration is a lot of fun. Approximately 240 species of birds occur there annually, as the park boasts diverse habitats such as marsh, open water, woodland, grassland and shoreline.
Tropical migrants in their bright breeding finery will be seen as they return north to nesting grounds. We’ll be searching with eyes and ears for shorebirds, ducks, birds of prey, and vibrant songbirds. This is a good chance to learn bird song.
Our Wednesday Spring Bird Walks run April 30 – May 28, five dates.
*See our popular Saturday morning bird walks with Jerry, also.
Always a surprise and always entertaining, birding on the shore of CT is one of the highlights of spring. Get outdoors and enjoy a Saturday morning in the fresh air!
No need to pre-register.
Our number one priority is to keep everyone healthy. We reserve the right to cancel a trip, should circumstances change.
