Welcome to the Audubon Society of Rhode Island's bird alert for March 29th,
2007. This report covers the period from March 24th to March 29th, and
will be updated again on April 5th.
At Arcadia Management Area, on the border of Exeter and West Greenwich, a
PILEATED WOODPECKER was reported on the 25th, and seen again on the 27th.
There are probably two birds in the vicinity of the old picnic shelter, along
the yellow trail, near Stepstone Falls, along the Falls River. This area can
be accessed by parking just north of the horse stables on Escoheag Hill Rd,
and following an old paved road to the picnic shelter. Other birds seen here

WOODPCKERS. The first PINE WARBLER of the year was reported on the 25th, at
Browning Mill Pond.
On the 25th, a CACKLING GOOSE was found in the corn stubble field at Roy
Carpenter's Beach. Five GLOSSY IBIS were observed flying over Roy Carpenter's
heading west on the 29th.
At Central Beach in Charlestown, 2 AMERICAN PIPITS were found on the 28th.
At Beavertail Point in Jamestown, 2 RED-NECKED GREBES, 35 HARLEQUIN DUCKS
and 1 LONG-TAILED DUCK on the 25th. Also in Jamestown, a high count of 23
WILSON'S SNIPE were seen at Weedon Lane, along with 1 AMERICAN KESTREL and 1
SAVANNAH SPARROW. At Fort Getty, 1 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHER was found on the

On the 27th, at Durfee Hill Management Area in Glocester, 1 COMMON RAVEN, 4

section of South Kingston. This bird was only seen for a short time on the
21st.
Save the date! Audubon Birdfest, 2007. Bring the brood or join the flock
for a day of multiple presentations and activities. Whether you want to
improve your birding skills, enjoy an informative walk, find out about landscaping

BirdFest will offer you a stimulating encounter. Choose either the full day
option of present ions by birding professionals, scouting for waterfowl at Colt
Park or Jacobs Point, box lunch, and the array of demonstrations and exhibits
at $35, or a select time and activities such as walks on the refuge,
children's songs, crafts and games; bird carving demonstration, and other activities

the Environmental Education Center, 1401 Hope St, Bristol. Call 949-5454 or
