April 21, Monday
Caratunk, Seekonk, MA   8am-10am                                                                  


Caratunk is an Audubon Society of Rhode Island property encompassing a variety of habitats: open fields, pine and hardwood woodlands, scrub brush along power lines, and a farm pond.  Trails are mostly level, with normal roots and rocks.  Our walk will be approximately 2 miles, covering all of these different habitats allowing for a good diversity of resident and migrating birds.  As with any walk in the woods, participants should be dressed to avoid ticks, and expect that there may be the usual array of biting insects.

Leaders: Don Heitzmann – [email protected] & Jack Sullivan – [email protected]

Identifying Warblers by Ear with Alex Dunn
Warwick Public Library
600 Sandy Lane, Warwick RI
Room 101

6:30-7pm Meet and Greet
7-8:30pm Presentation

Each spring over thirty species of warblers come flooding through New England. Finding these fast moving, insect eating, migratory jewels can be an act of neck-breaking frustration. In this presentation, we'll break down this hotly sought after family of birds into "sound groups" allowing for easier identification in the field. We will listen to and identify over twenty species of warblers based on their songs. Whether learning songs for the first time or doing a spring warm up, this class will get you ready for the coming invasion!

Alex Dunn is a life long birder and natural historian and an expert teacher! He is based out of Worcester County, Ma and is kind enough to offer his very well reviewed warbler song presentation to the club.
