Grasses: An Introduction to Identification with Lauren Brown

October 9, 2021 9:00 am - 1:00 pm The Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center
The Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center
Old Lyme, CT 06371

Grasses are all around us – along roadsides and riverbanks, in fields and marshes – but many people are scared to try identifying them, thinking that “they all look alike” and that their identification requires a specialized vocabulary and a microscope. Not so!  Lauren Brown,
co-author with Ted Elliman of Grasses, Sedges, Rushes: An Identification Guide, will show you how to tell one species from another using naked-eye characteristics and plain English.  We will start with study in the classroom and then proceed to a riverfront property for identification in the field.  It will be very useful for you to bring the above book, or its predecessor, Grasses: An Identification Guide by Lauren Brown. Participants will need transportation to proceed to the outdoor portion of the program. Registration required.

Fall migration is upon us! This is a perfect time to explore the fields and food plots of Deer Pond Farm. Many birds are moving from their breeding range to their wintering range. These birds as well as our resident birds can be seen resting and refueling here. This includes a variety of sparrows that enjoy seeds from the millet and sorghum. Join us to learn which birds migrate, why and the factors that affect them. We’ll help you identify different sparrow species and to better understand their food and habitat preferences.

*Program will meet at the Gallows Lane entrance

Sparrows are some of the most difficult birds to identify, falling into the category of “little brown jobs”. Knowing the right field marks and behaviors makes them much easier to identify and differentiate though. With its large meadow and mixed forests, the Goodwin Natural Area of the Connecticut College Arboretum provides great habitat for a mix of sparrow species. Join teacher-naturalist Joe Attwater from the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center as we search for these cryptic and confusing little birds. Free for CT Audubon and Arboretum members; $5 for non-members.
