Mattabeseck Audubon Society: Birding Frederick White Farm

Join us for a 1.5 mile walk through one of the premier birding hotspots in Connecticut at Fredrich White Farm in Durham. Meet at 8:00AM at the White’s Farm parking area to start a walk through grasslands, wetlands, river banks and swamplands. We hope to see grassland birds such as Bobolinks and Meadowlarks as well as migrating warblers, vireos and a variety of raptors ranging from Kestrels to Northern Harriers to Red-shouldered Hawks and Vultures. We often see a variety of swallows and swifts along the river and may spot Wood Ducks and other migrating ducks as well as Swamp Sparrow in the flooded areas. 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.
