Nantucket: Seasons in Transition

April 9, 2019 Apr 9th - 12th -

The birding starts the minute we board the ferry and gets better as we leave the mainland behind. Revel in the peace and quiet of an off-season resort, the inescapable sense of history, and the abundance of open space. Expect sea ducks, rare gulls, and spectacular Snowy Owls as we search the desolate beaches by four-wheel-drive vehilce. Take time to relax in the delightful teahouses and pubs in the heart of the historic town. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the experience of the island in winter. We'll be staying in a private house in the village of Siasconset. Leader: Andy Griswold and island native Rich Newman. NO SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS

Vernal Pool Walk with Jim Arrigoni

April 12, 2019 9:00 am - 11:00 am Deer Pond Farm
57 Wakeman Hill Road
Sherman, CT 06784
USA
(860) 799-4074

Friday, April 12
9 a.m.

There is always some aspect of nature taking center stage depending on the time of year. In April, vernal pools steal the show. On the first warm, rainy nights of spring, otherwise secretive amphibians fall over themselves to be the first to lay their eggs in these temporary wetlands that will disappear by late summer. With conservation biologist Jim Arrigoni, we’ll explore around the edges of the vernal pools and other wetlands at Deer Pond Farm, looking for eggs of Wood Frogs and Spotted Salamanders as well as the diverse and     abundant invertebrate life. If you have them, bring polarized sunglasses for better viewing into the water.

Allow for an average of two hours and 1.5 – 2 miles. Dress for the weather. Inclement weather cancels.  Bring binoculars, camera, water, walking stick and a sense of adventure.  Binoculars are available to borrow.
