Late spring and early summer in Connecticut means the return of our shorebird species, as they stop to breed in the state or continue further north. These birds compete for space with beach goers and shoreline development, and as a result, are often of conservation concern. Join us as we look for many of our shorebird species at some of the best spots around southeastern Connecticut, and learn how you can help these charasmatic birds.

There are dozens of shorebird species that make their way through Connecticut on their way to breeding grounds further north, but only a few that stick around to breed in the state. Sandy beaches provide some of the best habitat for these nesting birds, and the long beach at Bluff Point State Park has plenty of space. We’ll learn about the breeding and nesting habits of these birds, and the threats they face during the breeding season.

Monday, June 20 ; 6-7 p.m. on Zoom
Saturday, June 25; 6-8:30 p.m. at Selden Creek Preserve, Lyme *note different time
It has long been known that “to everything there is a season,” but why? Changing day length drives many seasonal patterns in nature, and this marks the day when we turn the corner from day lengths getting longer to shorter. Celebrate the solstice at the spectacular Selden Creek Preserve, where we’ll watch the sun set from a cliff overlooking the largest island in the Connecticut. Along the way, we’ll see examples of how the passage of the season affects plants, wildlife, and ecosystems such as upland forest and forested wetlands. Terrain is gentle-to-moderate.
