Shorebird Walks

Saturday, July 5; 9-11 am
Thursday, July 17; 9-11 am

Most of North America’s shorebird species winter in South & Central America, heading north to breed in the high Arctic. Some of these birds breed in CT, while others start their southbound journey in late summer. Join us as we look for many of our shorebird species at some of the best spots around southeastern Connecticut and learn how you can help these charismatic birds. $ 13 for members; $18 for non-members.

– The program at Smith Neck Road will involve little to no walking, mostly stationary birding from a platform. Exposure to the sun and heat is possible, depending on the weather. No restrooms on site.
– The walk at Griswold Point will be approximately .5 – 1 mile on sandy and rocky terrain, with some standing water. Exposure to the sun and heat is possible, depending on the weather. No restrooms on site.
