AAfCW 2022 Field Update #2

Here is the second field update for the AAfCW in 2022 with data through May 6. Our staff have seen both Least and Common Terns at multiple sites in Connecticut in the past week apart from these reports. Please refer back to our YouTube training session for new monitors for identification tips for these two species: https://youtu.be/E0putp6rFn4

Please remember negative data is not included below, but we need to continue receiving it in our electronic submission form along with all other data all spring and summer. Please use one entry for each of our four focal species. If you do not see any, or only see one, etc. you can enter your data and note it in the comments if it saves you time (e.g. 2 pairs of Piping Plovers with 3 adults and 1 nest but no other focal species observed). Thank you all for your hard work!
