Birding Delight
Did you know Rhode Island’s state bird is a chicken called the Rhode Island Red? Well, I can’t say I’ve seen one of those walking around the neighborhood, but as a new East Side resident I do see a thriving and diverse bird population. The Blackstone Park Conservation District, and the greenway of which it is part, hosts approximately 150 avian species, from the common Blue Jays and Chipping Sparrows to the more unique Great Horned Owls, Kentucky Warbler, and Veery.
