Pond Mountain Trust, Kent – Corrie Folsom-O’Keefe

Pond Mountain Trust, Inc. includes 796 acres of deciduous woodlands, pockets of conifers, meadows, streams, wetlands, and Fuller Pond.   The Trust is part of the Macedonia Forest Block Important Bird Area, which was identified for its importance to Cerulean Warbler, Wood Thrush, and other forest nesting birds.The trip involves moderately strenuous hiking, but is open to birders of all levels; families are welcome. We will not only see and hear birds, but also talk about how they are identified and their habits. More advanced birders not only can enjoy a day out but also provide support and inspiration for newcomers.  Meet at the grassy parking lot on Fuller Mountain Road, Pond Mountain Trust, Kent.
