Paul and I often take a few minutes to pop into one of our local birding hotspots. Every once in a while, we will describe these spots for those looking for a little trip.
This morning, I visited Watrous Point Sanctuary on the border of Essex and Old Saybrook, Connecticut. This Nature Conservancy area is located on the Connecticut River, bordering South Cove in Essex. A combination of old hardwood and pine trees, it is a woodpecker haven. In a single trip, you can be sure to find Downy, Hairy, Red-Bellied, Flicker, and an occasional Pileated Woodpecker.
Recently, there has been some treework along one of the small road.paths, and the brushpiles are extensive, filled with many scavenging birds. Two Carolina Wrens were happily chasing each other through the woodpile.
A wonderful place for a stroll and your fill of woodpeckers
