Clip: Season 4 Episode 5 | 9m 42sVideo has Closed Captions
From snowy owls to harlequin ducks, migratory birds flock to Rhode Island in the winter.
Rhode Island is a great place to spot migratory birds during the winter months. The Ocean State’s relatively warmer waters combined with its 400 miles of coastline and abundant food source attract snowbirds from as far as the Arctic coast. Rhode Island PBS Weekly visits habitats where winter wildlife can be spotted and follows along as a group of birders and a photographer set out on their own.
