Beginners’ Bird Walk at Griswold Point, Old Lyme
October 4, 2014 @ 12:00 pm
Griswold Point, located at the mouth of the CT River, provides important stopover habitat for shorebirds and songbirds in the fall. On this walk, we will scan the coastline for late migration shorebirds, and look for Saltmarsh and Nelson’s Sparrows along the edges of the marsh. The Saltmarsh Sparrow is globally vulnerable and fall migration offers a great opportunity to glimpse this species. This walk is geared to beginners but families and birders of all levels are welcome. More advanced birders not only can enjoy a day out but also provide support and inspiration to the newcomers. We will meet at the town parking lot at the end of White Sands Beach Road. Please note: We will walk about 2 miles during this trip.
