Beginners’ Bird Walk at Sandy Point IBA, West Haven
August 8, 2014 @ 6:30 pm
Note: This is an evening walk
On our walk to this Important Bird Area (IBA), we will focus on beach-nesting birds, such as the Piping Plover, and other shore- birds that use Sandy Point to rest and refuel during migration. Participants will also learn about threats to beach-nesting birds as well as strategies for protecting them. This walk is geared to beginners but families and birders of all levels are welcome. More advanced birders not only can enjoy a day out but also provide support and inspiration to the newcomers. The Sandy Pt. parking lot is on Beach Street, about a quarter mile east of Chick’s Restaurant. There will be no parking fee. Leader: Corrie Folsom-O’Keefe: 203-630-9640, or cfolsom-okeefe@audubon.org
