Join our senior director of science and conservation for an early morning bird walk at Deer Pond Farm. All level of birders are welcome on these relaxing excursions along the trails on our way to various birding hot spots. We will look and listen for early fall migrants as we collect data for the Connecticut Bird Atlas survey. Possible sightings include: American Redstart, Yellow Warbler and many other warblers moving through. Our resident woodpeckers, flycatchers, tanagers and grosbeaks are also likely to be seen or heard.

Sharpen your shorebird identification skills at Milford Point, one of the best places to see shorebirds in the state!
Connecticut Audubon Executive Director Patrick Comins and other experts will conduct an indoor session followed by outdoor field study. Thousands of shorebirds gather at Milford Point in August to rest and feed on their migration south. You can expect (or hope) to see Semipalmated, Baird’s (shown at left), Buff-Breasted, Stilt, White-rumped, Pectoral, and Western sandpipers, among others.
This event is co-sponsored by the Connecticut Ornithological Association (COA) and the Connecticut Audubon Society.
Meet in the Coastal Center parking lot. The workshop is free and open to COA and Connecticut Audubon members and non-members alike.

This walk will focus on the variety of freshwater habitats of Deer Pond Farm and the fascinating animals that depend on them. Water is essential for life, and even though it is all around us, it is like another world. Many strange animals are doing interesting things under the water’s surface, which we’ll observe with dry feet from the water’s edge.
