Description
This year-long series follows the full avian calendar at Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary, covering fall and spring migration, raptors, owls, warblers, ducks, woodcocks, and much more.
Led by a skilled Mass Audubon naturalist, each monthly session builds field identification skills, ornithology knowledge, and a deeper understanding of bird conservation alongside a community of fellow birders.
Sessions begin indoors before heading out for a field session in the habitat most relevant to that month's topic. Don't miss the most thorough way to learn the full cast of local birds of this exceptional CT River Valley wildlife sanctuary.
