Spring Migration Birding at Allen’s Meadow and its Community Gardens

Come along on this free spring migration bird walk at Allen’s Meadow led by expert birder, conservationist, master gardener and Wilton resident Joe Bear. Bear will lead a leisurely two-hour walk through the diverse habitats this well-known birding hot spot has to offer — open fields, woods, woodland edges, pond and swamp — to seek out returning summer residents, those on their way to northern breeding grounds, and maybe a vagrant or two. Previous spring walks have yielded a wide variety of species, including both orchard and Baltimore orioles, bobolink, indigo bunting, scarlet tanager, eastern kingbird, rose-breasted grosbeak, flycatchers, vireos and a variety of colorful warblers.  We’ll also get a chance to see up close eastern bluebirds and tree swallows vying for one of the 12 nest boxes that Bear erected in and around the Little Bluestem meadow.
