SUMMARY:New Haven Bird Club: Meeting - Twitching (Birding) at the Yale Center for British Art
DESCRIPTION:Indoor Meeting – Twitching (Birding) at the Yale Center for British Art – Mark Aronson \n\nThursday\, October 8\, 2026 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\n\n\n\nThe history of birds\, formal studies of ornithology and birdwatching owe much to the efforts of British natural historians\, scientists and collectors.  In the 17th and 18th centuries artists helped systematically cataloguing and depicting both British and world birds. By the 19th century artists tried to depict all the species they came across during their world travels.  Mark Aronson\, the senior conservator of paintings at the Yale Center for British Art\, has spent some of his time birding the paintings in the collection and he will show some of the 75+ birds seen on the walls of the YCBA.  A visit to this free museum serves as a perfect way to get your twitch on during a rainy day. \nHeld at the:  Whitney Center – Cultural Arts Center\, Hamden

Connecticut conducted its first atlas from 1982-86\, with the results published in 1994 as the Atlas of Breeding Birds of Connecticut by Louis Bevier. Field work for the second atlas took place between April 2018 and February 2022\, and involved nearly a thousand volunteer birders\, who submitted more than 600\,000 bird observations. This talk will provide an overview of the results of the CT Bird Atlas\, an overview of the Birds of Connecticut web site\, and a discussion of the conservation implications of the project. \nChris Elphick is a professor of conservation biology in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut. His research centers around describing\, understanding\, and mitigating biodiversity loss. He is also one of the lead investigators for the Connecticut Bird Atlas. \n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 18\, 2026\n5:00pm – 6:00pm\nOld Lyme Town Hall\n52 Lyme St.\nOld Lyme\, CT\nProgram is free; registration required\n\nRegister here: CT River Lecture Series – Where are the Birds and How Do We Protect Them: Results from the CT Bird Atlas\, with Chris Elphick | Nov 18\, 5:00pm – 6:00pm | RTP Estuary Center | The Connecticut Audubon Society

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.
