SUMMARY:Hartford Audubon - Crow Roost Field Trip:  December 5\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hartford Crow Roost – Saturday\, December 5 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm\n\n\nMeet at Hartford Housing Authority parking lot at 180 John D.\nWardlaw Way (a.k.a. Overlook Terrace)\, Hartford. DIRECTIONS:\nFrom Flatbush Ave.\, turn south onto Newfield Ave.\, go past Charter\nOak Marketplace shopping plaza\, and then turn east at the stoplight\nintersection of Newfield & John D. Wardlaw Way\, and park in the lot\nnext to the building at the end of the street. \nWatching thousands of crows return to their nightly roost is an exciting\nwinter spectacle. The roost tends to be near the Hartford/West\nHartford boundary\, often within sight of I-84. \nI’ll be tracking the roost location and will update the meeting place using the AllHAS e-mail if the crows have moved to a new area. Be prepared to drive around some after we meet to see crows flying in from different directions. \nDress quite warmly (including hats\, gloves\, and warm footwear): we\nwill often be standing still. The crow show will probably last a little over an hour. \nTrip will be cancelled or rescheduled if snow or rain is falling or the weather is otherwise dangerous; call to ask if the weather seems borderline. \nSylvia Halkin – halkin@ccsu.edu – 860-985-7343 T

SUMMARY:New Haven Bird Club: Indoor Meeting - History of NH Christmas Bird Count - December 10\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Indoor Meeting – Still Counting After All These Years: The History of the New Haven Christmas Bird Count – Steve Broker\n\nThursday\, December 10\, 2026 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\n\n\n\nIn 1900\, ornithologist and Bird-Lore editor Frank Chapman called for “a Christmas bird-census” to counter the ongoing slaughter of millions of North American birds. Two pioneer counts were held in Connecticut\, and in 1901 Aretas A. Saunders held New Haven’s first Christmas Bird Count (CBC) in Edgewood Park. The CBC\, sponsored by National Audubon Society\, has matured over the past 126 years into an invaluable conservation effort in citizen science. The NHBC has provided the leadership for the New Haven CBC for many years. In this historical retrospective\, richly illustrated with photos of birds and birders\, we discuss our changing early winter bird populations over the past century and a quarter. \nSteve Broker\, a past president of the NHBC and the Connecticut Ornithological Association\, has served as compiler or co-compiler of the New Haven CBC for 17 years and has compiled and summarized the Connecticut statewide CBC for 40 years.
