Field Trip – Cheshire Hotspots – Steve Broker & Melissa Baston
November 5, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
We bird several hotspots in Cheshire. Broad Brook Reservoir annually hosts 200-400 Ruddy Ducks in fall, one of the highest concentrations of this diving duck in the state. It is level walking (100 yards) on leaf-covered paved road. Fresh Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary (Cheshire Land Trust) offers a diversity of bird species through the year. It is level walking (500 yards) with water-resistant boots recommended. Meet at the Route 68 access to Broad Brook Reservoir, north side of the road. Parking is available at a safe pullout opposite the water company gate in the lowest section of Route 68. Look for our cars.
