Join Scott on Wednesdays for our Spring Migration Bird Walks at Hammonasset, one of Connecticut's premier birding "hot spots".
Hammonasset 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. Approximately 240 species of birds occur there annually, as the park boasts diverse habitats such as marsh, open water, woodland, grassland and shoreline.
Tropical migrants in their bright breeding finery will be seen as they return north to nesting grounds. We'll be searching for shorebirds, ducks, birds of prey, and vibrant songbirds. Learn what specialties come into CT this time of year. Learn bird song, too!
Scott has five Wednesday Spring Bird Walks this season - May 3 through May 31th, 2023.
Always a surprise and always entertaining, birding on the shore of CT is one of the highlights of spring. Get outdoors and enjoy a mid-week morning in the fresh air!
No need to pre-register.

David is a master of luminosity. "Light suggests, evokes, alludes, hints and offers a variety of stories through its bright and illuminating essence," explains the artist. He achieves his luminous and atmospheric effects with an original technique of applying layers of translucent glazes on brushed silver, gold, and laminated aluminum, allowing the light to pass through, which further amplifies the color and vividness of the painting.
David is also known for his entertaining PBS series, Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop, which won an Emmy and a CINE Golden Eagle Award for Excellence.
