Monitoring the Migration: Observations and Identification

Diversity is at the core of Landcraft’s ethos. Whether it be vegetive, two legged, or four, Landcraft welcomes all; and in May, Landcraft is especially excited to welcome back to the garden its migrating feathered friends, the birds. Through mindful gardening practice, Landcraft, over the years, has become a proud and very special bird sanctuary with a glorious diversity of birds either passing through or nesting within its 17 acres. Join Birding Guide, Ben Bolduc, as he helps guests see and understand the calls and habits of all the birds, conspicuous and inconspicuous, making Landcraft their home.

BEN BOLDUC, a Mattituck resident and avid birder, has travelled extensively to view birds in their native habitats including the Lower Rio Grande Valley, of Texas, the boreal forest of the Adirondacks, Monhegan Island, Maine, and the Andes mountains and rainforests of Ecuador. Today, Ben leads guided walks for the North Fork Audubon Society, friends, and family, helping others discover the captivating world of birds. Ben looks forward to sharing his passion for birds and the spectacle of migration this year at Landcraft Gardens.
