Every September near the mouth of the Connecticut River, one of the most spectacular shows in the avian world takes place. Hundreds of thousands of Tree Swallows gather right at sunset to roost in the reeds, preparing for the southbound journey in migration. The best way to see it is from a boat on the river, where you’ll be surrounded by swallows flying over the water. We’ll launch a kayak or canoe, and paddle upriver to the roosting site. Each participant must provide their own kayak or canoe and PFD. Participants are also encouraged to bring a headlamp or light for their canoe/kayak. Limited to 10 participants. Participants must be ages 18 and up. $20/members $30/non-members

Connecticut College Arboretum, New London
With birds from further north moving through the state mixing with departing summer residents, fall in Connecticut is an exciting time to go birding. It’s also one of the most difficult times to identify species, with so many juvenile birds and birds in non-breeding plumage. The Native Plant Collection and Bolleswood Natural Area of the Connecticut College Arboretum provides wetlands, deciduous and coniferous forests, and more, all of which attract a diverse array of migrating songbirds! Join teacher-naturalist Joe Attwater from the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center as we look for migrating warblers, vireos, flycatchers, and more! Free for CT Audubon and Arboretum members; $5 for non-members
