Photos: Bell’s Neck Birding Walk
It’s been a sublime experience seeing the misty autumn mornings transform into sunlit days. Seeing this change unfold in the Bell’s Neck Conservation Lands is a real treat. Witnessing the variety of bird life that inhabits the popular conservation destination is also a gift. We thank Peter Trull for sharing his birding insights and natural history knowledge. We’re grateful to HCT volunteer Gerry Beetham for his patience and skill in photographing the wildlife around us including our feathered friends.
