Field Observation 5/1

On Saturday, April 25, I travelled to one of my all-time favorite birding locations in my hometown, Caratunk Wildlife Refuge. This natural area is actually owned and run by Audubon Rhode Island, and it is home to a wide variety of both resident and migratory bird species. I arrived at the refuge at about 8 o’clock in the morning, and I finished logging my observations at around 10 o’clock. The weather was a beautiful 50˚, with little to no wind and barely any cloud cover. The ground was wet from a heavy rainstorm that happened the night before. As for the habitat, there is a mix between fielded habitat and wooded area, with a small pond as well. It could also be described as an edge habitat. This provided me with an opportunity to see bird species that prefer forested areas, fields, and ponds.
