Opis
The 425-acre park surrounds and includes the mountainous ridge named East Rock and was developed with naturalistic landscaping. The summit of East Rock Park rises more than 350 feet above the floor of the Mill River valley at its base. Views from the clifftops span metropolitan New Haven, Long Island Sound, and Long Island. As with many other famous migration spots, East Rock Park serves as an urban oasis for hungry and tired passerines.
A good area to check out during spring migration is the trail along the Mill River (1) where you can find water-loving rarities such as Prothonotary Warbler and Kentucky Warbler, and the more common Wilson's Warbler, Canada Warbler and Northern Waterthrush. Also interesting is Trowbridge Drive (2), a paved road through tall hardwoods where you can find Bay-breasted Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler and Cape May Warbler. Other interesting spots to check out are the Giant Steps (3) and the Archery Field (4). Due to the dry, scrubby habitat of Archery Field there you have a chance of spotting Indigo Bunting, Blue-winged Warbler, and Nashville Warbler.
