SUMMARY:Hartford Audubon Society: Great Pond\, Simsbury - Bird Walk

We will try for forest birds before they migrate (like Juncos)\, early spring migrants (Pine warbler\, Blue-headed vireo) and whatever else we can see and hear.

If it’s a wet spring\, boots are a good idea; though most of paths should be dry. Bug spray good idea. 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
