Guided Spring Bird Walk: Haddam Meadows State Park

Join Anthony Zemba, Sr. Ecologist with LANDTECH, and Rockfall Foundation Board member for a morning Bird Walk at Haddam Meadows on Saturday, May 17th. We will meet at the parking lot at the entrance of the park (the parking lot is on the left as soon as you enter the park and cross the railroad tracks) at 8:30 AM.

From there, we will walk south along the edge of the wooded wetland on the west side of the open meadow field. We will be looking for Spring migrants and breeding resident birds among the park’s varied habitats, which include a forested swamp, a scrub/shrub swamp, a pond, the CT River and its associated freshwater tidal emergent wetlands, and open meadows. We will walk about a 2-mile loop on open, flat terrain. But wear sturdy shoes that you don’t mind getting wet (but we will try to avoid walking in wet areas), and protect yourself from ticks. We plan to go until about 10:30 AM with the option to go longer if desired. A steady rain will cancel the trip, so monitor the weather and the Rockfall’s website for forecasts.

🕙 Time: 8:30 am – 10:30 pm (With the option to stay longer)
