SUMMARY:CT Audubon\, RTP Estuary Center: Shorebird Sit
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 11\, 2026\n1:00pm – 3:00pm \nGreat Island Boat Launch\nOld Lyme\, CT \nMost of North America’s shorebird species winter in South & Central America\, heading north to breed in the high Arctic\, while others spend the winter here in Connecticut. Early spring is when many of these species start their long-distance migrations\, making it a great time of year to head to the coast. Join us as we look for many of our shorebird species at some of the best spots around southeastern Connecticut and learn how you can help these charismatic birds. A bird sit involves little to no walking\, instead focusing on a single location and letting the birds come to you. Exposure to wind\, sun\, and cold is possible depending on the weather. No restrooms on site. \nMembers: $13\nNon-Members: $18 \nRegister here: Shorebird Sit – The Connecticut Audubon Society

SUMMARY:CT Audubon\, RTP Estuary Center: Shorebirds Webinar via Zoom Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 8\, 2026\n6:00pm – 7:00pm \nShorebirds are among the longest distance migrants of any bird family\, spanning continents and oceans on their journeys to and from breeding grounds. Early spring in Connecticut is an ideal time to observe and listen to these birds\, as many migrate through the state to points further north. In this webinar\, Conservation & Education Coordinator Joe Attwater will highlight the incredible journeys these birds make and the species we can expect to see in Connecticut\, as well as their breeding and migration behaviors\, and tips and tricks for identification. \nFree to attend / Suggested donation $10 \nRegister here: Shorebirds Webinar – The Connecticut Audubon Society \n \n
