DESCRIPTION:Join Jerry and co. for a small group Spring Migration Bird Walk at Hammonasset\, on of Connecticut’s premier birding “hotspots”. \nHammonasset Beach State Park here in Madison is widely regarded as one of the premier birding spots in CT and springtime migration is a lot of fun.

This is a good chance to learn bird song. \nOur weekend Spring Bird Walks run Saturday April 18 through June 13\, 2026. Always a surprise and always entertaining\, birding on the shore of CT is one of the highlights of spring. Get outdoors and enjoy a Saturday morning in the fresh air! No need to pre-register. Our number one priority is to keep every safe. We reserve the right to cancel a trip\, should circumstances change. \n\nMeet Jerry at 7:50am in the parking lot at the shop\nCharge is $6/person\, paid in cash before we depart the shop\nPlease bring binoculars\, or they are available at the shop beforehand for $4\nWe will carpool to the park\nIf you have a telescope or a camera\, bring it!\n\n\n \n

For the first few minutes we will talk about the different wildlife we may see and hear in the preserve\, what owls are native to Colchester\, and facts about Connecticut owls and the threats to their numbers. “Happy owl hour” soft drinks and snacks will be provided by the hike leader\, or BYO.\n \nWe will follow the talk with a moonlit hike through the BHP trails\, using recorded barred owl calls to attract our local resident owls. We have had good luck attracting them and getting answering calls by the end of the hike. This is a relatively quiet hike\, not appropriate for very small children\, not stroller friendly.\n\n\n \nSlow hike\, wooded trail with rocks\, roots\, etc. Red light flashlights will be used by the guides\, so we do not scare off the owls.  Approximate length of hike is about a leisurely mile\, with several stops to call owls.\n \n Details:\n \n\n\nOpen to the public\, Registration required.\n\n\nCLT Members free / Non-members $5 / All kids under 18 years old are free.\n\n\nNon-members can use checkout link on the hike and events page\, or pay cash at the hike.\n\n\nPlease complete one hike waiver per person. A parent or legal guardian must sign one for each child under 18 years old.  (or we will have them at the hike)\n \n\n\nDirections:\n \n\n\nThe preserve is not assigned a street number so for GPS please use the mailbox at 243 Bulkeley Hill Road\, Colchester\, 06415. The preserve lot is directly across from the mailbox. We will meet at the outdoor classroom just inside the main trail past the kiosk signage.\n \n\n\nFrom Rt. 2 to Rt. 16/Middletown Ave\, turn right Bulkeley Hill Road and go about 1.5 miles\, the gravel lot will be on your right.\n \n\n\nPlease note:\n \n\n\nNO dogs for this hike\, please.\n \n\n\nNo headlamps\, please. Cell phone lights and flashlights on a lower mode are best for seeing the trail.\n \n\n\nModerate elevation\, non-groomed dirt trail with rocks and roots.\n \n\n\nPlease dress for the weather and wear appropriate boots or sneakers.\n \n\n\nTick protection is strongly suggested in all seasons. They are tenacious buggers\, literally.\n

SUMMARY:CT Audubon\, Deer Pond Farm: Pileated Woodpeckers & Forest Birds (class/walk)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 14\, 2026\n10:00am – 12:00pm  \nJoin us at Deer Pond Farm for a program on Pileated Woodpeckers\, and other forest birds\, sharing the same habitat. Lori Lichtenauer Sanctuary Manager / Naturalist will share unique adaptations of the Pileated Woodpeckers to survive and thrive year-round in the forests of the northeast. You will learn how Pileateds excavate holes in trees for nesting and to find wood boring insects to eat. Pileated woodpeckers are some of the only birds capable of creating large cavities for nesting\, roosting\, and shelter in bad weather for a variety of bird species. Non-migratory birds like tufted titmice\, house wrens\, chickadees and more use old Pileated cavities as their nest sites. Learn about the ways the forest community benefits from the industrious nature of the Pileated. The program will start in our classroom\, then we’ll be on the wooded trails around our main campus birding. All birding levels welcome. Recommended for ages 10 and up. \nRegistration required.$5 members; $10 non-members \nRegister here: Pileated Woodpeckers & Forest Birds (class / walk) – The Connecticut Audubon Society
