SUMMARY:Hartford Audubon Society: Great Pond\, Simsbury - Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:April 25\, 2026 – Great Pond\, Simsbury – Sat 8 am \n156 Great Pond Rd\, Simsbury\n\nBetween Laurel Ln and Old Farms Rd\nMeet in parking lot at end of entrance dirt road \nApril 26th is the first day of the Spring census. We will try for forest birds before they migrate (like Juncos)\, early spring migrants (Pine warbler\, Blue-headed vireo) and whatever else we can see and hear. This is a good walk for beginning birders; we will have extra binoculars. The 2-hour walk is mostly level easy walking on forest paths and rock path over the dam. Beware of the occasional tree root. If it’s a wet spring\, boots are a good idea; though most of paths should be dry. Bug spray good idea. A scope is helpful for scouting the pond\, as is Merlin for birding by song. \nDonna Summers djsummers2@comcast.net – 860-966-1642 T\nSarah Faulkner sffaulkner@comcast.net – 860-543-1280 T
