Most migrant birds are insectivores and won’t arrive until the bugs come out. Insects are not on the menu for early season arrivals, including waterfowl and some species of raptors and vultures, which is why they are early season arrivals! Taken last Wednesday March 20 2019 along the Connecticut River Valley in Walpole. Be sure to join the Harris Center for the annual Connecticut River waterfowl safari on March 31st.
