Fall migration brings numerous species back to and passing through Connecticut, in addition to our year-round residents. With so many birds flying about, it can be difficult to determine which species you are looking at, especially in non-breeding and juvenile plumages. But with the right tips, it gets much easier. In this presentation, CT Audubon Society's Conservation and Education Coordinator, […]

Please join us for a bird walk on the Paul Trail led by Joe Attwater, CT Audubon Society's Conservation and Education Coordinator. Joe will help participants learn how to identify birds in the field using shape, size, and color. The Paul Trail is an easy walk of about 1.5 miles and has rock outcrops, overlooking Guilford’s 150-acre Great Harbor Marsh […]

One is reported to be a beech, so we’re curious if this is the beginning of a huge collection of this tree species succumbing to Beech Leaf disease. Please join us if you have the afternoon free. We’ll have a saw and […]

As part of our effort to make the Spencer’s Creek Trails more accessible, we’re changing the trail entrance to just north of the field. The tree canopy in this area will help keep the entrance clear, and not overgrown with poison ivy. As part of this shift, we’re moving the kiosk to this area, and making the new location more […]

We were washed out of both of our September work parties, so this and next week's work is a replay of trying to finish up the Red Rectangle and Square Trails. If you’d like to help blaze, a small tool belt with places for nails, a hammer and a stockpile of blazes is recommended. Plan to meet at the Dunk […]
