DESCRIPTION:Winter Bird Behaviors (Class & Walk)\n\nJanuary 31\, 10 AM to Noon\n \n\nJoin Sanctuary Manager/Naturalist Lori Lichtenauer at Deer Pond Farm for a program on seasonal differences in bird behavior. Some birds migrate south\, but other birds tough it out year-long up north. While some of the more colorful\, charismatic migratory birds are away for the winter\, this is the perfect time of year to appreciate these year-round (and seasonal) avian residents. These small\, smart birds are some of the most fun to watch all winter long. We will start off in the classroom\, then go outside to observe winter birds at our feeders.\n \nClick here to register for Winter Bird Behaviors program.\n\n

SUMMARY:CT Audubon Milford Point: Bird Walks at the Coastal Center
DESCRIPTION:MILFORD POINT\n\nBird Walks at the Coastal Center\n\nJoin local birding expert Frank Mantlik for winter and spring bird walks! The Coastal Center is a hub for wildlife all times of the year\, so we’ll take you to some of our favorite sites around the sanctuary’s salt marsh\, woodlands\, and sandbar to look for a variety of birds. Beginner birders are welcome. The Coastal Center has a limited supply of binoculars to loan out if needed. \n \nBe sure to check the coastal forecast: we recommend bringing an extra layer\, as it tends to get windy at the coast. This walk will last 2-3 hours\, so you’ll want to bring good walking shoes\, a reusable water bottle\, and binoculars.\n\nPricing:\nMembers\, $15\nNon-members\, $20\nSpaces are limited\, and pre-registration is required.\n \nFebruary 14\, 10:00 a.m.: Register Here!\n \nFebruary 26\, 9:00 a.m.: Register Here!\n \nThis walk is subject to cancellation in the event of bad weather. If a walk is cancelled\, you will be offered to transfer your registration to a rescheduled date or receive a refund.
