Field Trip – Sachuest Point NWR and Rhode Island Coast
February 27, 2016 @ 7:00 am - 5:00 pm
Note: this is a date change from the yearbook
(Snow date: Sunday, February 28, 2016)
This all-day trip includes stops at Sachuest Point NWR, Beavertail State Park, Moonstone Beach, Trustum Pond, and other great birding sites on the Rhode Island coast. We will see lots of sea ducks, including all three scoter species, Common Eider, and Harlequin Duck. We’ll look for birds of prey, including Rough-legged Hawk and several owl species. We’ll also be on the lookout for alcids and rare gulls. Dress warmly—it’s likely to be cold and windy on the coast. The walk is a bit strenuous. Bring lunch and a scope if you have one. Meet at the Branford commuter lot located at Exit 55 off I-95. Leader: Chris Loscalzo: 203-389-6508 or closcalz@optonline.net
