Are you curious about bird watching, but don’t know the first thing about how to do it? Or have you ever been on a birding field trip and said to yourself “this stuff is for the birds,” meaning I’m not seeing what everybody else is seeing! Or maybe you’re thinking “I can’t see anything through these binoculars,” etc.

Well, now you can join Tom Damiani on “small group” field trips with a focus on effectively using binoculars, finding birds using them, and finding the best habitats for birds.

These outings will be held on the first Wednesday of each month, at Downs Farm Preserve from 8 - 10am.

This 350-acre oak-pine forest contains coastal plain ponds, which represent one of the rarest wetland types in North America. Calverton Ponds were utilized as commercial cranberry bogs in the early 1900’s which operated for over 50 years. Today Calverton Ponds hosts rare plants, several rare amphibians and fish and rare damselflies and many other species. We hope to spot Tree Swallows, Tufted Titmouse and Northern Flicker, plus more!

Creating a habitat that is attractive to birds is something that can be done in a nature preserve or in your own backyard. Removing invasive plants and planting native pollinator plants and cover vegetation will attract birds by providing food and shelter for nesting. Join NFAS and SOFO for a short talk about planting native species for birds followed by a walk at Inlet Pond Preserve and notice the native grasses, pollinators, trees and shrubs while we see what the birds are doing
