SUMMARY:CT Audubon - Deer Pond: 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

SUMMARY:New Haven Bird Club: People's State Forest - Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Field Trip – Peoples State Forest\, Barkhamsted – Paul Mahler and Michele McDermott\n\nJuly 19\, 2026 @ 7:30 am – 11:30 am\n\n\n\nPeoples State Forest spans over 3\,000 acres of diverse habitats and features 14 miles of trails\, yet it has been infrequently birded over the years.

Species we’re likely to encounter include: Blackburnian\, Canada\, Black-throated Blue\, and Black-throated Green Warblers\, Northern Waterthrush\, Ovenbirds\, Red-breasted Nuthatches\, Scarlet Tanagers\, Least and Alder Flycatchers\, Winter Wrens\, and more. Great Horned and Barred Owls\, along with Broad-winged Hawks\, also nest within the forest. Please note: the forest can be quite buggy in summer. Mosquito nets and/or generous use of bug spray are highly recommended. We will drive to several locations and walk approximately 2–3 miles throughout the morning. Terrain will include boardwalks\, rocky access roads\, and forest trails with many stumps and roots — please plan footwear and mobility accordingly. \nMeet at Matthies Grove (106 East River Road\, Barkhamsted). Meet in front of the pavilion to the left of the entrance. Due to limited parking at other spots in the forest\, we will carpool from there. \nLeaders: Paul Mahler\, 860-459-6942; \nMichele McDermott\, 860-485-3087
