Join naturalists from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the Providence Parks Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership for a FREE GUIDED BIRD WALK in Providence on Monday, December 30, from 9:30-10:30 am.We are meeting at the Save the Bay Center, to access their public dock behind the building. This is a good time to look for our winter waterfowl like ducks and geese and loons at top of the Narragansett Bay! We will gather just to the left of the main building’s entrance, to follow the path around to the back of the building.
The path to the back and along the water is paved, and relatively flat. The public dock is also flat. We typically stay near the water, so the majority of this walk will be accessible.
We encourage you to walk, bicycle, carpool or take public transit if you are able to. The RIPTA bus Route #3/4 stops along Narragansett Boulevard, near Harborside Boulevard. If you walk down Harborside Boulevard, past the Johnson and Wales buildings and turn right on Save the Bay Drive, you will find the Save the Bay buildings.
If driving, you can park anywhere in the Save the Bay parking lot.
Use Save the Bay Center as the address: 100 Save the Bay Drive, Providence. Be sure to go along Harborside Blvd to the Save the Bay campus; sometimes GPS tries to take you an alternative route and you end up stuck behind a gate.
Some safety recommendations:
- Dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes.
- We encourage you to bring your own equipment, such as binoculars and field guides, but we will have some available to borrow as well.
- Many of us have been dealing with pesky winter colds; please wear a mask if you are symptomatic, but do feel free to join us if you are feeling up to it.
