Field Trip – Bent of the River Important Bird Area, Southbury – Morgan Evans – moved to May 7th
May 7, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
This walk has been postponed from April 30th due to bad weather. The new date is May 7th
Explore a prime birding location along the Pomperaug River in Southbury where more than 100 species of birds have been observed in a single day. This beautiful and highly diverse habitat is owned and maintained by Audubon Connecticut. The walk is open to birders of all levels; families are welcome. We will not only see and hear birds, but will also talk about their identification and their habits. More advanced birders can enjoy a day out and also provide support and inspiration for newcomers. Total walk should be between 1 and 2 miles with moderate terrain and some uphills. Meet at Bent of the River Wildlife Sanctuary, 185 East Flat Hill Road, Southbury, CT. Take Exit 14 off of Rte. 84. Go north on Rte. 172, then turn left onto East Flat Hill Road (church on corner). Continue to sanctuary entrance on left.
