January 2024 Providence Birding
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 Saturday, January 27, 2024 at 9:30-10:30am. Our rain/ snow date will be Tuesday, January 30 , 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 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.
Please note that GPS will sometimes try to bring you a back way to the Save the Bay Center. We recommend that you turn onto Harborside Boulevard from Narragansett Boulevard and follow that to Save the Bay Drive.
We acknowledge that the lands we will explore are the traditional, ancestral and contemporary lands of the Narragansett, Nahaganset, Wôpanâak, and Pokanoket nations. We thank these indigenous nations for being the first to steward these lands and waters, and for continuing that stewardship in the present and into the future.
These birding adventures began in 2018 as part of the Urban Bird Treaty Program, and in 2019, Providence was designated a Bird Treaty City. To read more about the Urban Bird Treaty and other participating cities, visit this site.
