I’ll be joining Birding for Pleasure as the botanical guide on a walk through White’s Farm. In addition to being haven for birds, this wetland property has a lovely variety of native wetland plants.

Join us for a fun walk & talk at White's Farm - an important habitat for the Bobolink, a seed-eating bird that travels all the way from South America to nest in the grasses at the farm. Bobolink are a species of special concern in Connecticut so we will learn how to support their nesting success. During this walk we will observe and count the Bobolink and other bird species as we explore the farm fields. The walk around the farm will not be strenuous (mostly flat) but it is unpaved, and often muddy, so waterproof footwear is recommended.

Heavy rain or lightening cancels.

Birding for Pleasure is a nonprofit whose goal is to engage the Durham and Middlefield communities in conversation, restoration and enjoyment of nature focusing on birds, wildlife and their habitats.

Bring masks, binoculars, drinking water, tick protection and waterproof shoes or boots. Binoculars, through a CVEF Grant, can be checked out at the Durham Public Library during business hours. This free event is open to the public.
