Field Trip – Miles Wildlife Sanctuary, Sharon – Celeste Echlin

Audubon Sharon’s Miles Wildlife Sanctuary contains 800 acres of varied habitat with a 1.5 mile loop trail crossing woods, marshes, and a small lake. This site is great for early spring arrivals and waterfowl. If time permits, we will also visit eBird Hotspot Roy Swamp WMA, (two minutes  west of Miles Wildlife Sanctuary; stay on West Cornwall Rd to Roy Swamp, pull over on the right to park and walk the road to listen for marsh birds).

Meet at 93 West Cornwall Rd, Sharon, CT 06069. Entry to property is at this pin: 41°52’58.8″N 73°24’13.4″W. There are two private residences at the entry area; proceed to the left, follow signs to Visitor Parking across a narrow rustic bridge to the back, and park near the kiosk or near the dorm buildings on the right.
