Spring Migration Bird Walk! Saturday, May 17th 8:00 am at Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, RI

When birds migrate north in the spring, passing over cities and urban areas, they look for green spaces to stop over and fuel up. Even though our state is small, the city of Providence presents just this situation. A well know green space is Swan Point Cemetery on Blackstone Boulevard. For many years, this birding location has been the "must visit Hot Spot" during Spring. Small insect eating birds such as warblers and vireos may stop over. Other larger birds can include: thrushes, tanagers and cuckoos. There is a large variety of multi-level plant life including very old trees which surround the cemetery as well as some growing in mixed habitat in the middle and down near the water. You never know what you will find at this very well known birding hot spot.

Saturday, April 5th 11AM to 2 PM at our Warwick store.

Free taste testing of local Jams and Sauces from Off the Vine 45! Come visit and pick your favorites!

 

Thank you to the Wildlife Clinic of Rhode Island for coming during Octopalooza! 

They have left some information for us to give out: their contact number 7 days a week, how you can become a volunteer, and how you can support them by purchasing a RI Wildlife Clinic design license plate! 

 

If you find an injured or abandoned wild animal in Rhode Island, what can you do? The Wildlife Clinic of Rhode Island is a non-profit group of specially-trained, licensed rehabilitators. Over 6000 wild patients are treated there every year, from baby birds and injured birds to reptiles, mammals and as large as White-tailed deer fawns. Each requires a special diet and separation from other species for their recovery. The rehabbers go through training courses to learn the special diet and handling of the animals. The goal is always to release the animal back into the wild. 

We encourage you to support this huge effort and help with a donation. Many of our customers who love birds and wildlife are already on their list of supporters. You can help out by giving a donation to them or purchasing something on their wishlist.
