This privately owned property is unique in that it is one of the few old growth coniferous based forests in Connecticut, for that reason it is home to a number of northern breeders that we do not see at any of our other banding stations.  These species include Slate-colored Junco, Blackburnian Warbler, Canada Warbler and Solitary Vireo.
