Field Trip – Branford Supply Ponds, Branford – Maria Stockmal
October 29, 2023 @ 7:30 am - 10:30 am
This a good location to look for migrants both in spring and fall. There can be quite a mix including Baltimore Oriole, Pine Warbler, American Coot, Common Raven, Winter Wren, Fox Sparrow, and Red-shouldered Hawk. The site boasts two ponds, a forest area, and a power-line cut. The forest was damaged by severe storms in 2020 and tops of trees are gone. There is much dead wood and the ground is receiving more sunlight. New plants are rising and bird distribution is changing. Meet at the larger gravel parking lot on Chestnut Street off Route 1 in Branford.
Leader: Maria Stockmal, 203-305-3728 or m.stockmal@snet.net
