Sunday, May 31st, 7:30 a.m.
Led by Fran Zygmont Litchfield Hills Audubon Society Meet at 190 Stub Hollow Road
Join NHLT's second, annual birding by ear walk in Stub Hollow and Maple Hollow. This walk will delight beginners and experts alike. Expert Fran Zygmont will go over some basics about bird watching and share his knowledge so you will know what to look and listen for. Bring binoculars or a scope. There will be ample opportunity to ask questions and to see a variety of birds. The walk will last two to three hours and will be on a dirt road so no worries about ticks! You can leave at any time if you cannot stay for the duration.
We encourage you to pre-register by e-mail. Steady or soaking rain will cancel. Intermittent rain is a go. Park in the driveway at 190 Stub Hollow Road. We will gather at the bottom of the driveway for the walk.

| Chimney Swift
About 40 people came out last night to see the birds roost at NH Elementary and to hear our wonderful presenter, Shannon Kearney-McGee! |
If you missed yesterday's Chimney swift program, go to NH Elementary on your own to see these birds drop into their roosting chimney just at and after sunset (about 8:20 p.m. now).
If you were there and did not get materials, please e-mail us and we will send them to you.
