September 5, Friday. Steere Hill, Glocester. 6:30pm. Evening Trip
Birds, Bugs and Bats
This is an evening walk at a Glocester Land Trust in search of birds, bugs and bats! We’ll bird the trails in search of migrants and late nesters, and make our way to the fields to search for bats and listen for owls as it gets dark. When the birds go to bed, the insects begin singing and create their own nocturnal chorus. We will walk back through the fields and forest, listen to, and learn how to identify insects by their ‘songs’ and discuss how they ‘sing’.
We will meet in the Steere Hill Glocester Land Trust parking lot at 6:30pm. The lot is located across from the Harmony Post Office on 391 Putnam Pike, Glocester. There is a small red Glocester Land Trust sign and a single evergreen that mark the parking area.

September 14, Sunday. Newburyport, Ma area. 8am. All day trip
We will make several stops around the Newburyport area concentrating on the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge where we will search for shorebirds, raptors, ducks, and warblers. The varied habitats combined with the timing of this trip allow for the possibility of a very well-rounded trip list. This is a great opportunity to bird one of the east coast’s premiere birding spots and learn about many different bird families.
We will meet in the parking lot of the Market Basket at 25 Storey Ave, Newburyport Ma at 8am and carpool from there. Note – This is about a 90 min drive from Providence. If you’d like to carpool to Newburyport from RI, e-mail me and we can assist you in finding a carpool.
Bring a scope if you have one.
This is an all day trip, so be sure to bring a lunch as we’ll have a picnic as we hawk watch.
