A huge thanks to all of our new Audubon Alliance for Coastal Waterbirds volunteers who came out for 2021 field training last weekend, led by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, Wildlife Division. Here you can see Laura Saucier speaking to the group before heading to the beach and Rebecca Foster leading the walk as we looked for Piping Plovers and American Oystercatchers.
We discussed biology to disturbances, data reporting to field techniques and tactics. We saw both of our focal species and any day now we will be able to see Least Terns and Common Terns back on our beaches. It was great to be able to get into the field safely with volunteers after missing all in-person training in 2020. We continue to work every single day, dawn to dusk, to help survey and steward our endangered nesting waterbirds.
