April 10, 2024(1 event) Ospreys at Pratt CoveOspreys at Pratt CoveApril 10, 2024 9:00 am - 11:00 am The Roger Tory Peterson Estuary CenterThe Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center Old Lyme, CT 06371 Historically, Ospreys return to Pratt and Post Coves in late March and typically one or more pairs build nests at locations that allow excellent viewing from the Deep River Land Trust’s Evelyn Hawthorne and Smyth Sanctuaries. The natural history and unique adaptations of these unique “fish hawks” will be the focus of this event, but as we walk the mostly level ¼ mile trail, we will also scan the marsh for waders, waterfowl and other raptors. The woodland margins can be excellent for spotting early spring land migrants as well. https://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&daddr=++Old+Lyme+CT+06371+More information about Ospreys at Pratt Cove | April 11, 2024 |
