The Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds is offering a series of free
shorebird identification seminars at the Connecticut Audubon Society's
Milford Point Coastal Center. These seminars are scheduled around tides
so they are somewhat irregularly spaced. The focus will be on
shorebirds, terns and other coastal waterbirds. The goal is to end
sessions by 9:00 PM.
Thursday, July 26th, 6:00 PM. Field session followed by a one hour indoor general shorebird presentation. High tide 5:36 PM.
Thursday, August 9th, 6:00 PM. Field session followed by birding by ear
for shorebirds and coastal waterbirds indoors. High tide 5:25 PM.
Tuesday, September 11th, 5:00 PM. Field session followed by indoor
presentation focusing on advanced shorebird and tern ID. We had to push
this one earlier because of 7:07 PM sunset. High tide 8:24 PM.
Attendance at all three sessions is not mandatory, but the goal is to
make it worthwhile to attend all three as we will seek to minimize
overlap of materials covered. The leader will be Patrick Comins, but
additional staff from the two Audubons, including Sean Graesser, will
likely assist. Space is limited! Please contact us at
ctwaterbirds@gmail.com. Pre-registration is required due to limited
space. These seminars are free.
The Audubon Alliance is a joint venture of Audubon Connecticut and the
Connecticut Audubon Society in partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife
Service and Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection, with funding from the Long Island Sound Futures Fund, Cross
Foundation, Jeniam Foundation and Community Foundation for Greater New
Haven.
Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds, Audubon Connecticut and the Connecticut Audubon Society partnering to improve conditions for coastal waterbirds in Connecticut.
