The Stonington Land Trust invites folks to its Winter Stroll Sunday, Jan. 12 at 1 p.m. for its fifth in a series of seasonal walks on Thomas Miner Nature Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Bob Dewire, renowned naturalist, ornithologist is the guide. The stroll will have walkers meandering through a peaceful sanctuary, in the fields, “we’ll be in search of over-wintering birds such as bluebirds, winter wrens and hawks. In the woodlands, we’ll scan the trees for nuthatches, brown creepers, and woodpeckers,” according to the land trust website. “Snow-covered ground will allow us to read stories in the snow of the wildlife on the Preserve. Stroll will be approximately 1-1/2 hours long, on flat terrain.”
