Menunketesuck Flats and River Marsh, Westbrook
August 16, 2014 @ 8:30 am
Enjoy an excursion on the beach! We will walk along Seaside Avenue in Westbrook and out onto Menunketesuck Flats at low tide to look for shorebirds, terns, and other water birds. The mud flats at low tide are a great place to see shorebirds. We’ll then visit the Salt Meadow Unit of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge to look out into the marsh, one of the best locations in CT for Little Blue Heronand Glossy Ibis. The woods and brushy fields in the refuge will feature land birds. Meet at the town hall parking lot at 866 Boston Post Road in Westbrook. Wear shoes you won’t mind getting wet or muddy. Leader: Chris Loscalzo: 203-389-6508 or closcalz@optonline.net.
