Fencing "Completed"

Thanks to everyone who assisted us with putting up string fencing and signage! This week's latest storm took down a considerable amount of fencing, and our staff is hard at work repairing damage at all beaches. The weather has continued to be a problem, and most of our birds have been seen only foraging and waiting for more acceptable conditions before nesting activities begin. Remember that we want to monitor when it is between 50 and 90 degrees, to avoid very windy days, and to stay home if it is raining.

When reporting observations we do want to hear about negative data as well if you did not see any of our four focal species: Piping Plover, American Oystercatcher, Least Terns and Common Terns. The terns will begin arriving in Connecticut slowly around May 1.

You can submit data via this form which is especially helpful in that it includes all we need.

Or email it to this address: ctwaterbirds@gmail.com

Or share it to this address via eBird, but please remember to include all the data and information we need.

Once we begin regular monitoring, which should be next week, we will post weekly data and information updates on all of our beaches. Thanks again!
