Bird Walk at Birdcraft with Stefan Martin

Photo: Blackburnian Warbler by Patrick Comins

Thursday, May 9, 2024
7:30 to 8:30 a.m.

Join Conservation Manager Stefan Martin at this historic property to look for returning migrant songbirds. What the Birdcraft Sanctuary lacks in size, it makes up for in diversity with over 30 species of warblers and nearly 180 species of birds seen at this urban oasis. One of the area’s best locations to photograph warblers in the spring. All levels of birders welcome; appropriate for ages 12 and up. Registration required. Binoculars recommended. 

CAS Members $15; Non-members $20. Please register here.
This walk is at Connecticut Audubon’s Birdcraft Sanctuary, 314 Unquowa Rd., Fairfield, CT.

Judy Richardson and her team offer a fascinating, up-close view of how bird banding works. Watch as birds are gently captured in the Birdcraft Sanctuary, their measurements are recorded, and they are fitted with an identification band before being released back into the wild, unharmed. Participants may get to release a bird too!
