Description
Join naturalists from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the Providence Urban Wildlife Conservation Partnership for a free GUIDED BIRD WALK in Providence on Wednesday, May 22, from 12-1. This lunchtime walk is hosted in partnership with the National Parks Service and one of their Rangers will be joining us.
We are meeting at Roger Williams National Memorial, located between North Main Street and Canal Street, in the block between Smith Street and Park Row. Meet near the National Park Service Visitor Center, at 282 North Main Street, closest to the corner of North Main Street and Smith Street. Please note: this walk is NOT taking place at Roger Williams Park on Elmwood Avenue. If using GPS, please use the North Main St. address.
We will begin our exploration in Roger Williams National Memorial park and then wander along the Canal Walk and the Providence River Greenway to look for birds along the river as well as to keep an eye out for the raptors nesting in downtown Providence. We might spot the famous peregrine falcon pair who nest on top of the Superman/ former Bank of America building!
