Field Trip – Whip-poor-will Walk in Naugatuck State Forest, Naugatuck – Jack Swatt

May 17 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Rain Date: Saturday, May 18, 2024, 8–9:30 p.m.

Jack Swatt, New Haven Bird Club Life Member and Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) volunteer Whip-poor-will monitor, will lead a walk to listen and look for Eastern Whip-poor-will at the Naugatuck State Forest. Jack will give a short talk on the status of Whip-poor-wills in the Northeast and Connecticut. We will then wait for dusk to fall while we listen for the distinctive call. A sighting? Who knows! The walk is about a quarter mile’s easy walking but through field terrain during tick season and at night; a good flashlight is a must. Meet at the parking lot at the end of Hunter’s Mountain Road, Naugatuck.

Leader: Jack Swatt, 203-592-4686 or jswattbirds@gmail.com
