Field Trip – Great Meadows Unit, Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, Stratford – Corrie Folsom-O’Keefe
October 15, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
The salt marshes of Connecticut express muted hues of gold and russet in autumn. These colors are the backdrop for the early fall migration. Come visit one of the state’s largest salt marshes to observe Palm Warblers, wading birds, shorebirds, migrating sparrows and swallows, Merlins, and Northern Harriers. Corrie Folsom-O’Keefe, Director of Bird Conservation for Audubon Connecticut, and Kris Vagos, wildlife biologist for the Stewart B. McKinney NWR, will lead the walk. They will also discuss salt marsh ecology and the large marsh restoration project that is in progress at Great Meadows. Meet in the parking lot on Long Beach Boulevard, Stratford.
