Audubon Greenwich
Audubon Greenwich Review
Established in 1942 as the National Audubon Society's first nature-education facility, this center in northern Greenwich is the best location in the area for bird-watching. During the Fall Hawk Watch Festival you can see over 16 species of hawks, eagles, and vultures migrate over the site. Other annual events are the Spring into Audubon Festival and the summer and Christmas bird counts. The center is filled with "real-life" interactive exhibits, galleries, and classrooms, a wildlife observation room, and an observation deck that offers sweeping views of wildlife activity. Outside, the sanctuary includes protected wildlife habitats and 7 mi of hiking trails on 285 acres of woodland, wetland, and meadow.
