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.

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
