Birds of the Fall

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.

Say Cheese and Snap

Every year, all of us at Block Island Ferry get together and think about something new and different that we can bring to you. Something to make your time on Block Island even more enjoyable. That’s exactly what we did this year with our Snapchat geo-filters. Whether you were at the Block Island or Point Judith ports, you could frame your photo with one of our wonderful Snapchat geo-filters.

Geo-filters are unique designs, with each available only within their specific coordinates. Think of them as digital stickers, but better. They’re a perfect way to show your friends not only how much fun you’re having, but where you’re having it, too.

A Hike Around the Block

The leaves are starting to change and fall. Each new breeze decorates the ground with oranges, reds, and browns, casting everything in a new light. The refreshing chill of autumn opens paths that the summer heat and constant call of the beaches previously kept hidden. While the shores are always there, these trails are arguably better than ever. As long as you have water, snacks, and comfortable pair of shoes.
