  • BIRD OBSERVER 176 Vol. 27, No. 4, 1999 BIRDING the BLACKSTONE VALLEY: UXBRH)GE- Northbrroge, MASSACHUSETTS
    BIRD OBSERVER 176 Vol. 27, No. 4, 1999 BIRDING THE BLACKSTONE VALLEY: UXBRH)GE- NORTHBRroGE, MASSACHUSETTS by Richard W. Hildreth and Strickland Wheelock The Blackstone River begins near Worcester, Massachusetts, flows south along a fairly straight course and down quite a steep gradient, and empties into the sea near Providence, Rhode Island. In the vicinity of Uxbridge and Northbridge, in southern Worcester County, Massachusetts, two major tributaries join the Blackstone: the West River and the Mumford River. In this “tri-river” area, the coincidence of an interesting variety of habitats, an abundance of easily accessible public land, and an impressive history of birding activity combine to produce a destination for excellent inland birding at all seasons. Besides being a productive birding destination, the region features historical sites associated with the Blackstone Canal, which operated from 1828 through 1847, as well as with other activities of the early days of the industrial revolution. The area also offers excellent opportunities for recreational activities such as hiking, biking, and canoeing. The area around Rice City Pond features some outstanding scenic views; this is an especially beautiful place to visit during the autumn foliage season. The Uxbridge area is the destination for annual spring and fall field trips by the Forbush Bird Club. This area is also the heart of the Uxbridge Christmas Bird Count, which has been conducted continuously for 16 years, during which 118 species have been found. One of us (Strickland Wheelock) has birded the area since childhood, amassing many observations and records; in conjunction with others, he has operated a bird-banding station in the area since 1988, netting, over the years, roughly 9500 birds representing about 105 species.

    Newsletter of the Rhode Island Canoe & Kayak Association Vol. XXXXI No. 5 May 2018 May Club Meeting Keeping an Eye on Narragansett Bay Monday, May 21, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. With over 400 miles of coastline, Narragansett Bay is a Rhode Island treasure and a great place for paddlers to explore. Since 1970, Save The Bay has helped us understand and preserve this amazing ecosystem. At our May Meeting, Save The Bay’s Mike Jarbeau will talk about the Baykeeper Program and its efforts to protect the Bay and to restore water quality, habitat, and ecological health to the system. The Baykeeper Program identifies and responds to environmental threats by keeping in close contact with members of the Bay community and with environmental agencies. Mike is a Warwick native who came to Save The Bay from the Coast Guard where he worked on fisheries management and other issues. The meeting will be held at the Save The Bay Center, 100 Save The Bay Drive, Providence, RI 02905. Enter the building through the main entrance. Baykeeper Mike Jarbeau from Save The Bay Directions: From Route I-95 north or south, take exit 18 for US-1A. Merge onto Thurbers Ave, and then turn right on to Allens Ave. Allens Ave will become Narragansett Blvd. Turn left on to Harborside Blvd, and then right on the Save The Bay Drive. Save The Bay Center will be on the right. Be sure to use Harborside Blvd to enter the JWU campus. Your GPS may suggest Ernest St, but the back gate off Ernest St requires a key card.
