New Haven Bird Club – Cheshire Hotspots Field Trip: November 1, 2026
Field Trip – Cheshire Hotspots – Melissa Baston
We bird several hotspots in the Town of Cheshire, including Broad Brook Reservoir. The Reservoir annually hosts 200-400 Ruddy Ducks in fall, one of the highest concentrations of this diving duck in the state. The Reservoir is level walking (100 yards) on leaf-covered paved road. Other locations will be chosen according to current conditions and bird sightings.
Meet at 894 S Meriden Rd, Cheshire. We will carpool from there.
Leader: Melissa Baston, 860-995-0656 or mbaston@gmail.com
