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
