Field Trip – Whip-poor-will Walk in Naugatuck State Forest, Naugatuck – Jack Swatt
May 13, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Rain date: Saturday, May 14, 2022, 8:00–10 p.m.
Jack Swatt, New Haven Bird Club member and CT DEEP volunteer Whip-poor-will monitor, will lead a walk to listen and look for Whip-poor-will at the Naugatuck State Forest. Jack will give a short talk on the status of Whip-poor-wills in the northeast and Connecticut. We will then wait for dusk to fall while we listen for the distinctive call. A sighting? Who knows! This is a quarter-mile easy walk but it is through field terrain during tick season. It is at night, so a good flashlight is a must. Meet at at the parking lot at the end of Hunter’s Mountain Road, Naugatuck.
Leader: Jack Swatt, 203-592-4686 or jswattbirds@gmail.com
