Aspetuck Land Trust will sponsor a Shore bird hike this Thursday, August 19 from 6-8pm at their Great Salt Marsh Island Preserve in Ash Creek. This hike will be led by bird expert Milan Bull from the CT Audubon Society.

Attached is background information on this unique preserve, so you can read up on the history and flora and fauna of this area before the hike.

We are expecting morning showers but the weather should clear by hike time.  In case of hike cancellation due to inclement weather, you will receive an email from me by 5pm.  There will also be a message with status at: 203-331-1906.

Hi Gail, it seems great minds think alike. I added my daily August blog this morning on "Bird Watching in CT" before seeing yours....lol. We sit in our back yard all the time and watch the birds, so many different types here in Ct. ~ Dave
