Hartford Audubon: A.W. Stanley Park Bird Walk
October 20 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Oct 20 A.W. Stanley Park, New Britain Sun 9:30 am
Park in the lot across from the pool building.
(Note this is NOT Stanley Quarter Park, also in New Britain)
A.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.
