DESCRIPTION:Hummingbirds buzzing wild bergamot (Monada fistulosa)\, Trustom Pond. Photo: Carmen Rugel \nSeptember is a great time to look for migrating birds! Come on a nature walk with fellow bird and native plant enthusiasts on Friday September 15\, 2023 from 10 am to noon at the Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge in South Kingston\, RI. \nFrom Nick Ernst\, wildlife biologist for the Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex\, learn about the importance of creating high quality habitat for migratory birds\, especially through promoting and restoring native plant populations.

A few specific examples: Barn Swallow\, Eastern Bluebird\, Eastern Kingbird\, Palm Warbler\, Red-tailed Hawk\, Baltimore Orioles and more! \nBring your questions.
