Explore Stratford Point's 28 upland acres filled with grasslands,
pollinator meadows, feed plots, and a variety of shrubs and trees
for common to rare species at this beautiful coastal site. This is
one of the best places to find Monarchs in abundance in all of
Connecticut, and likely the only property in the state with two
annual broods of Swarthy Skipper. Little Yellow and Cloudless
Sulphur can be found here with a variety of hairstreaks,
swallowtails, and many other skippers including unexpected or scarce
species. Easy walking on pavement and grass paths. Bring water and
sunscreen. Binoculars and a spotting scope are advisable to enjoy
the views. An office building with restrooms is on the site.<br>
<br>
Directions: Stratford Point is located at 1207 Prospect Drive,
Stratford. It is on the left of the street before the lighthouse and
the entry driveway has a large metal gate with the address on it.<br>
