Our Providence Urban Birding Adventures are back! Please be sure to sign up, since we need to limit participants to conform to COVID-19 guidelines and to keep us all safe while we enjoy our bird walks. Join naturalists from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the Providence Parks Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership for a free GUIDED BIRD WALK at Neutaconkanut Hill in Providence on Thursday, October 29, 9-10am.

Join us for our annual day of pumpkin fun! Activities, designed with social distancing in mind, will include some of your favorites from last year as well as new adventures. Note that some activities require advance registration!

Do you have one or two gently-used pairs of binoculars in your closet? Please consider donating them to a child! With a solid pair of binoculars in their hands, we can help create the next generation of Rhode Island birders!

A common question we receive around this year is: "I have noticed all the birds have disappeared from my yards and the woods. Where have all the birds gone?" Nature is an amazing thing and provides a couple reasons for why the birds seem to have disappeared. But that is unfortunately not the full story. Adapted from Ask Audubon: Wildlife FAQ's.
