Mattabeseck Audubon Society: Bird Walk at Coginchaug Greenway

Join us for a 1.5 mile walk in the recently established Coginchaug Greenway. Meet at 8:00AM in the parking area of the Coginchaug Greenway off of Strickland Road in Middlefield to start the walk. We will pass through pasture and grasslands and then into the wooded hills of the Durham Meadows State Wildlife Preserve and then down to the banks of the Coginchaug River.  Passing through grasslands, orchards, forests and wetlands will hopefully enable us to see a variety of bird species ranging from Bobolinks, Red-wing Blackbirds and Meadowlarks in the grasslands, to Orchard and Baltimore Orioles as well as a variety of migrating warblers in the wooded areas, to wetland birds and ducks near the Coginchaug River. There may be spring flooding so wear rubber boots or shoes that can take a little sloshing in mud and puddles. The walk will be led by MAS board member Michael Good (Michaeldg@AOL.com), let him know if you need binoculars or have questions.
