Kalmia Sanctuary

Kalmia Sanctuary

Keep Kalmia and Carry On Kalmia Sanctuary, Harwinton May 6, 2018 I'm going to do a rare thing here in Harwinton. I hiked all seven currently trailed properties on one (rainy) morning, so I'm going to sort of serialize the write-ups. As anyone who knows me, or has read a lot of this website, I wake up early. I … [Read more...]

379. Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center

Take a Flyer Old Lyme, (Google Maps location) March 25, 2018 I feel like I shouldn't be writing about the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center based upon an opening day visit. After all, the "center" is quite unlike all of the other Connecticut Audubon centers as of spring 2018. It is not housed in a homey … [Read more...]

Wigwam Brook Wildlife Sanctuary

Wiggin’ Out Wigwam Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, Litchfield November 21, 2017 The town of Litchfield has always been interesting to me. Everyone is familiar with its fancy dan “downtown” area; with it’s restaurants and high-end shopping. But outside of that strip through the center of town, Litchfield gets a little … [Read more...]

226. Sharon Audubon Center

Sharon and Sharon Not Alike Sharon (Google Maps location) February 25, 2012 There are a lot of Audubon Centers in Connecticut. Certainly not as many as there are in other states, but we have more than you realize. And, as is always the case with most everything I write about, it's more confusing than you realize … [Read more...]

HAS: Lewis Farm

Suffield HAS It! Lewis Farm, Suffield October 2017 Once in a while, I'll realize that certain things I've done for CTMQ are things that not many others have done. Though I'm sure many people have walked all three of the Hartford Audubon properties. So I'm not really sure why I'm writing this introduction … [Read more...]

HAS: Station 43

Ice Station 43 Station 43, South Windsor January 29, 2014 & A year later I wasn't expecting much from this particular wildlife sanctuary along the Connecticut River in South Windsor, so I didn't really allot all that much time for exploring. Turns out, I was sort of right - at least in … [Read more...]

163. Audubon Greenwich

Where Goldfinches are Made of Real Gold Greenwich (Google Maps location) May 8, 2010 [2018 Note: I will likely do a rare revisit of this place. I still have to hike its trails, and will likely have Calvin with me, and he'd enjoy it. It's so nice that I think you'll agree - better pictures are … [Read more...]

Are You Peregrinning at Me? Fairfield (Google Maps Location) June 13, 2009 “Happy Holidays! Merry Open House Day!” Why does everybody look at me funny when I shout that out on the second Saturday of June every year? After all, Connecticut Open House Day is one of the greatest days of the entire year. What is … [Read more...]

137. Audubon at Bent of the River

Get Bent Southbury (Google Maps Location) August 14, 2009 Before Damian transitioned to a new in-town daycare (and before I started my new job), I decided to spend a couple weeks with him in order to save some money – and if you know how much daycare costs, we’re actually talking a lot of money saved. And so, … [Read more...]

102. CT Audubon Society Center at Pomfret

Don't Fret; A Title Pun is in the Pom of my Hands... Pomfret (Google Maps Location) May 17, 2009 I'm pretty certain we are the only family who gets in their car, drives up and down hills for an hour east to Pomfret in order to check out a small Audubon Society nature center. After all, there are larger Audubon and … [Read more...]
