The Lloyd Center property has a diversity of habitats that attract birds year-round. These include a mixed forest interior (predominantly oak-hickory/with interspersed evergreens), wetlands (red maple swamp, vernal pools, estuary, salt marsh), forest edge, and butterfly gardens. This intricate landscape supports most bird groups depending upon the season including breeders, migrants, and overwintering species.

Birding locations include the trail system, the Center’s waterfront pier, Lloyd Woods bordering the Little River salt marsh and estuary, and parking areas near forest edges and butterfly vegetation. Participants will also visit the Center’s main facility feeder station and upstairs observatory overlooking the Slocum River, with views of Demarest Lloyd State Park and the Elizabeth Island chain on a clear day.

Items to bring/note: camera, binoculars, hiking footwear. Terrain difficulty is easy to moderate (some hilly terrain).

Pre-register online. If you have specific questions regarding the program, please contact Jamie Bogart at jbogart@lloydcenter.org.

Come out and use the time change to your advantage on a pre-Thanksgiving walk in the woods of the Lloyd Center property in search of a different bird. This time of year owls are becoming territorial with Screech, Barred, Great-Horned, and even Saw-whet owls present at any given time on or near the property.

We’ll try both the parking lots and woodland trails in an attempt to attract owls with playback calls, taking in the woods on a November evening when the foliage season has passed, the deep cold hasn’t yet set in, and the woods are full of life!

Items to bring/notes: flashlight (spotlight a plus) camera, binoculars, and footwear for light hiking.
