Located in Plainfield, the Quinebaug Valley State Fish Hatchery often has many species of wintering birds, since it offers a variety of habitats — open water, conifer trees, and heavy shrub areas. Andy will lead you around the extensive grounds, which provide some of the best birding in Windham County. Email arzeznikiewicz@ctaudubon.org or call 860-928-4948 for additional details and registration.

Stopover ecology and conservation of migratory land birds in the Eastern United States Thursday, February 20, 7 p.m.
Migratory land birds are experiencing dramatic population declines in North America, but little is known about the important habitats they use as stopover sites during migration. Freda’s research leverages the power of weather radar to monitor the continental-scale movement pattern of migratory land birds, identify critical stopover hotspots and key habitats birds use during migration, and assess how land birds confront migration barriers lacking stopover sites.

Winter may not seem like the best time to look for birds. However, as the temperature drops many species can still be found in the state, especially along the coast. Waterfowl seek open water, larks and buntings search for food in open areas, and sparrows seek shelter in brushy areas. We'll look for the hardy winter birds in some of the best spots in Connecticut.
Andy will attempt to call in owls. Most likely to respond are Eastern Screech and Barred owls. Great-horned owls also sometimes come in. Register by emailing arzeznikiewicz@ctaudubon.org or calling 860-928-4948. Fee: $10 CAS members; $20 non-members.
