SUMMARY:New Haven Bird Club: Sleeping Giant State Park - Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Field Trip – Sleeping Giant State Park – Jim Sirch\, Craig Repasz and DeWitt Allen \n\nMay 16\, 2026 @ 8:00 am – 11:00 am\n\n\n\nSleeping Giant dominates the landscape north of New Haven. The park hosts diverse habitats: riparian woods\, rivers and streams\,  stands of white pines\, mature deciduous forests\, and cliffs and meadow edge. Although it is famous for its ankle-twisting and heart-pumping terrain\, we will bird along the uphill but (mostly) smooth-surfaced Tower Path. As we move slowly along the Path\, we can expect to find a rich mix of migrant and resident warblers\, thrushes\, vireos\, and woodpeckers. We should be able to locate the nesting ravens and may also get glimpses of the resident Peregrine Falcons. \nMeet at the Sleeping Giant State Park entrance on Mt. Carmel Avenue\, Hamden. \nLeaders: Jim Sirch\, jimsirch95@gmail.com; \nCraig Repasz\, 203-745-6683 or crepasz@hotmail.com; \nDeWitt Allen\, 860-949-0995 or allendatlow@gmail.com
