I have been taking the train to New Haven quite often in the last month. It takes about an hour. The train ride alternates between city, industrial and nature.
Today’s trip showed me another sign that spring is here. Looking at the salt marshes in Westport. I spotted my first egret. The egrets have returned. The nice thing about egrets is, they are easy to spot with their feathers being all white. They inhabit the marsh lands of the Connecticut coast walking in the marsh and fishing. Today I saw at least ten egrets.
There are lots of other birds in the marshes. You can also look for osprey nests. You will also be able to see herons looking for food.
New Haven is a great destination for a day trip. There is a lot to do, and IKEA is an easy walk from the train station.
