Litchfield Hills Audubon: Hawk Watch at Lighthouse Point
October 6 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Hawk watchers at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven typically tally more birds than those at any other reporting site northeast of Cape May, NJ, says National Audubon. Thousands of other migrating birds — plus Monarch Butterflies — pass the point too, many of them stopping to rest and feed in the nearby woods and marsh. Join Angela Dimmitt for a day of watching this annual migration spectacle.
If interested, please contact Angela at 860-355-3429 or angeladimmitt@aol.com.
Directions: Take I-95 north through New Haven to Exit 50 and turn right on Woodward Avenue. At the end, past Nathan Hale Park, turn right on Townsend Ave. Watch for signs to Lighthouse Point Park and turn right on Lighthouse Road. Continue into the park; park in the parking lot or drive up to the hawk watch on the hill in front of the lighthouse. Note: There might be a non-resident parking fee, but it used to be waived if one said one was going to the hawk watch.
