West Island State Reservation
Sconticut Neck Road to Goulart Memorial Drive over the causeway...straight all the way to the end. Bear left on Fir Street and park near the sign.
Walk in. When you get to a fork in the road take the right branch. Keep walking ... it's quite a way. Don't be led astray and just stay on the main road. After the road takes a sharp turn to the left, keep looking over to the right.
There will be a path into the marsh with a very low stone wall that is marked by hunters with green paint. On the opposite side of the path from the green painted rock, the letterbox is hidden
American Oystercatchers are large black and white shore birds with long orange beaks and pink legs. They make quite a racket and you may be lucky enough to see them doing a "piping tournament" in which several pairs and sometimes including single birds fly around in unison making their distinctive sound.
Be careful of poison ivy and ticks in the area...it's rampant. And they allow hunting, so it may be best to go on Sundays during hunting season.
