The Orange Conservation Commission (OCC) will host a Bird Walk at the Turkey Hill Preserve in Orange (GPS Address: 700 Derby-Milford Road, Orange) on Sunday, June 17, at 8 a.m.
Frank Gallo, a leading expert on where to find birds in Connecticut, will lead the tour. Frank is a tour leader for Sunrise Birding, LLC, an international birding tour company, is a member of the Connecticut Avian Rare Records Committee, and a federally licensed master bird bander.
Frank also is the author of two children’s nature books, Bird Calls and Night Sounds, and is a published freelance photographer. Frank’s new book, Birding in Connecticut, a guide to where, when, and how to find birds in the state, came out May 1. He will have copies available to sign at the walk. Frank has led the OCC’s highly acclaimed “Owl Prowl” in the Fall for the last 3 years.
This Bird Walk is made possible by a Community Grant from the Orange Lion’s Club.
