Birdwatching is a wonderful way to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us every day. Join us for an engaging presentation where you'll learn about the fascinating birds in our area and how to observe and identify them. We'll cover everything you need to get started—from essential gear and the best places to look, to helpful resources that will guide your journey.

Notes

According to a survey from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 96 million Americans are bird watchers, or 37 percent of the population aged 16 and above. Because birding requires little gear, and can be done almost anywhere, it’s a great activity whether in your backyard, the woods or our Connecticut shoreline. In this class we will cover everything from how to get started to essential equipment you will need. You will also learn tips for identifying birds, the best locations and how to get in touch with fellow birders (ie local bird clubs, outings and bird walks). Speakers will be from the Connecticut Audubon Society’s Coastal Center at Milford Point Join us for this fun and informative session!
