Winter is coming. While the words have taken on a connotation all their own thanks to Sean Bean and his tough as nails Stark children, they also mean the seasons are changing again on Block Island. Every one of them presents a new collection of beautiful sights and one-of-a-kind experiences. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve been to the Island before. There’s always something new waiting for you across the water.
The holiday season is a special time on Block Island. The air is cooler, mixing the scent of the ocean with fallen leaves and the promise of snow still to come. The Island is quieter, adding a whole new feel to the colorfully-lit streets and shops.
And this week is the start of it all.
The Spring and Fall are important times for birdwatchers, as new species pass through on their never-ending journey around the world. Regardless of whether you’re an experienced birder with a storied past and shelves of journals filled cover-to-cover with your accomplishments, or if you’re new to the world of ornithology and just want to enjoy the majesty of nature and rare birds, Block Island is here for you.
As another wave of migration is underway, here are just a few of the beautiful birds you should be on the look for.
