On December 17, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., summon the scientist within to
help Steep Rock Association (SRA) collect data on birds inhabiting the Litchfield Hills. Your eyes, ears,
and enthusiasm are requested for a birding excursion in Macricostas Preserve as part of the nation’s
longest-running community science bird project, Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count (CBC).
The CBC was created to document trends in North American bird populations over time. This project, as
with so many others, relies on public input and exemplifies the value of community science: a method
where non-professionals perform meaningful research. We welcome all degrees of expertise from
seasoned ornithologists to first-time birders. Traversing a boardwalk through meadow, stalking around a
field, and scanning Meeker Swamp from a viewing platform will surely turn up an array of species and
be a great opportunity to build birding skills in a group setting.
Our effort will begin at SRA’s Macricostas Preserve main parking lot (124 Christian Street, New Preston,
CT) and proceed over level terrain for 1 1/2 miles. Please bring warm clothing, hiking shoes, and a pair of
binoculars if available. All ages are welcome; however, children must be accompanied by an adult.
Registration is required and donations are gratefully accepted. Click here to register or call the office at (860) 868-9131 Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.
