CT Audubon Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center: Waterfowl Walk

 

As winter approaches, the ponds and lakes further north start to freeze, driving many waterfowl species south to the warmer open waters along the coast. The brackish water of the Thames River around Connecticut College’s Manacoke Island rarely freezes, providing a haven for many of these birds. Join us as we search for the ducks, geese, and more that call this area home for the winter. $10 for non-members/Free for CT Audubon & Arboretum members

 

– Walk will be approximately 1.5 miles out and back on mostly level dirt and grass terrain, with one slightly steeper section. Exposure to wind, sun, and cold is possible depending on the weather. No restrooms on site.
