Harbor Seal Walk
Harbor seals are the most common marine mammal in Rhode Island waters. These winter visitors to Narragansett Bay have become more abundant in recent years, and are easily viewed at several locations. Join naturalist Laura Carberry for a visit to the largest haul-out site in the state, off Rome Point. Our walk is timed with low tide, and we could see a hundred seals or more. It's about a one-mile walk each way between the parking lot and the end of Rome Point. Good walking shoes, warm clothes, and binoculars or spotting scopes will be helpful.

Block Island Spring Overnight
This new overnight trip is an exciting way to see Block Island during spring migration. Much like the fall, BI has the incredible potential for uncommon and rare species. Swallow-tailed Kite, Prothonotary Warbler, Blue Grosbeak, Summer Tanager, Cerulean Warbler and Yellow-throated Warbler are just a few examples of rarities found there in recent years. Birds aside, BI is one of the most beautiful places to experience in the northeast! Not only is it a great opportunity to see birds but it's also a wonderful way to see parts of the island most people don't get to see. The trip will include transportation (to the ferry and on the island), lodging and programs. Meals are not included but our in-town location will give us several options to choose from.
