IMG_7171
Don't miss our third annual Mother's Day walk in Ridgefield. The two-hour walk includes a IMG_9891 trip to the Ridgefield Nature Center (at right; think warblers and a scarlet tanager if we're lucky), a visit to Skeetkill Creek Marsh andan optional stop to see the Monk Parakeets who nest on a bridge next to Railroad Avenue (above), 

We had some great birds, including that tanager last year.

The blog post from last year, including bird list and photos, is here.
