Though there isn't as much diversity in winter as spring and early summer for our shorebirds, there are still a few hardy species that can be found wandering our shores. We'll search for these winter shorebirds and any other winter residents along Long Island Sound and at the mouth of the Connecticut River.

The walk will be approximately 1 mile on level sandy and rocky terrain. Exposure to cold and wind possible depending on the weather. No restrooms on site.
