SUMMARY:CT Audubon Deer Pond Farm: Winter Bird Behaviors (Class and Walk)
DESCRIPTION:Winter Bird Behaviors (Class & Walk)\n\nJanuary 31\, 10 AM to Noon\n \n\nJoin Sanctuary Manager/Naturalist Lori Lichtenauer at Deer Pond Farm for a program on seasonal differences in bird behavior. Some birds migrate south\, but other birds tough it out year-long up north. While some of the more colorful\, charismatic migratory birds are away for the winter\, this is the perfect time of year to appreciate these year-round (and seasonal) avian residents. These small\, smart birds are some of the most fun to watch all winter long. We will start off in the classroom\, then go outside to observe winter birds at our feeders.\n \nClick here to register for Winter Bird Behaviors program.\n\n

SUMMARY:CT Audubon Deer Pond Farm: Bird ID Apps - Class and Walk
DESCRIPTION:Bird ID Apps: eBird & Merlin (Class & Walk)\n\nMarch 21\, 10 AM-Noon\n \n\nPrepare for spring migration by learning to use two of the most popular birding apps: eBird and Merlin. Join Lori Lichtenauer in the Deer Pond Farm classroom for an introduction to eBird: what it is\, how to use it\, and how scientists benefit from it. Explore the Merlin Bird ID app to help identify birds by sight and sound. We will then hit the trails to use the apps in the field. Learn about the powerful contribution you can make to science research just by birding. All birding levels are welcome.\n \nPlease have apps installed on your phone prior to class. \n \nClick here to register for the Bird ID Apps Program\n\n

SUMMARY:CT Audubon\, Milford Point:  Woodcock Walks
DESCRIPTION:Woodcock Walks:\n \nTuesday\, March 24\, 2026\n6:30pm – 8:30pm\n \nFriday\, March 27\, 2026\n6:30pm – 8:30pm\n \n\nJoin us for an evening hike to find the elusive American Woodcock! This bird puts on a dazzling display during the breeding season and we are going to set off to try and see it in action. We’ll start with a discussion about their life cycle\, then as the sun sets we’ll keep our eyes and ears out for the start of the show. Bring binoculars\, a flashlight\, and shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy (we’ll have a limited supply of binoculars to borrow). If the woodcocks prove stubborn\, we’ll continue the hike to look for all manner of night life\, from owls to Spring Peepers. \nWe will meet at Eisenhower Park in Milford. Once you enter the park\, drive straight forward to the lower gravel parking lot\, this is where we’ll be gathering.  This program is appropriate for adults and children ages 6+. \n\n \nMembers: $15\nNon-members: $20\n \nRegister here: Woodcock Walk – The Connecticut Audubon Society
