March has arrived as a gray, damp lamb rather than the roaring lion of folklore, but there are clues between raindrops that promise spring is on the way.

Join naturalists from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the Providence Urban Wildlife Conservation Partnership for FREE GUIDED BIRDING in Providence on Friday, March 29, 9:30-10:30 am. We will be looking for our neighborhood birds, who frequent the parks and green spaces around the city, and along a wooded path on the Rhode Island College campus. We can practice listening for the birds, and being able to pick out the songs and calls of the familiar ones. We look forward to exploring this new spot for us, and we welcome Rhode Island College students to join us! Get the details, here.
