Birding Allen’s Meadow and Its Community Gardens - Spring Migration 2024

Joe will lead us on a leisurely 2-hour walk through the diverse habitats this birding hot spot has to offer – open field, woodlands, edges, pond and swamp – to seek out returning summer residents, those on their way to northern nesting grounds, and maybe a vagrant or two.

Previous spring walks have yielded a wide variety of species including Orchard Orioles, Bobolinks, Indigo Buntings, Baltimore Orioles, Scarlet Tanagers, Eastern Kingbirds, Warblers (including Yellow, Wilson's, Blue-winged, Northern Parula, Black and White, American Redstart, Blackpoll), and Vireos, as well as Bluebirds and Tree Swallows tending nest boxes erected by Joe.

JOE BEAR has been birding for over 30 years, having led both domestic and ­­­international trips for CT Audubon and other nature-based organizations. Joe enjoys sharing his passion and enthusiasm for birds and believes that experienced or novice, there's always something new to learn every time we pick up our bins. Joe currently resides in Wilton with his wife and 2 kids.
