SUMMARY:Hartford Audubon - Crow Roost Field Trip:  December 5\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hartford Crow Roost – Saturday\, December 5 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm\n\n\nMeet at Hartford Housing Authority parking lot at 180 John D.\nWardlaw Way (a.k.a. Overlook Terrace)\, Hartford. DIRECTIONS:\nFrom Flatbush Ave.\, turn south onto Newfield Ave.\, go past Charter\nOak Marketplace shopping plaza\, and then turn east at the stoplight\nintersection of Newfield & John D. Wardlaw Way\, and park in the lot\nnext to the building at the end of the street. \nWatching thousands of crows return to their nightly roost is an exciting\nwinter spectacle. The roost tends to be near the Hartford/West\nHartford boundary\, often within sight of I-84. \nI’ll be tracking the roost location and will update the meeting place using the AllHAS e-mail if the crows have moved to a new area. Be prepared to drive around some after we meet to see crows flying in from different directions. \nDress quite warmly (including hats\, gloves\, and warm footwear): we\nwill often be standing still. The crow show will probably last a little over an hour. \nTrip will be cancelled or rescheduled if snow or rain is falling or the weather is otherwise dangerous; call to ask if the weather seems borderline. \nSylvia Halkin – halkin@ccsu.edu – 860-985-7343 T
