Grassland Birds Habitat Survey Training

Sat., May 21, 9-noon

Have you heard a Meadowlark this spring? Have you seen a American Kestrel hunting in a nearby field? Maybe you’ve noticed an LBJ (little brown job) with a yellowish eyebrow stripe singing in the field – it could have been a Savannah Sparrow. These are just a few of the grassland bird species whose numbers have dwindled as grassland habitat disappears from our state. Join volunteers looking and listening for breeding grassland birds in Canterbury in early summer. Training to be held at the Center at Pomfret. Fee: $7 members; $15 non-members.

Free to Canterbury residents (USFWS grant)

Field observations will be scheduled on Fridays and Saturdays in June.
