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:Litchfield Hills Audubon:  Meeting - Northern Saw-whet Owl
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Monday\, February 2\, 2026\n \nWhat:  Litchfield Hills Audubon Society Monthly Meeting\n \nWhen:  6:45 to 8:30 PM\n \nWhere:  Litchfield Community Center\, 421 Bantam Rd (Rte 202)\, Litchfield\, CT 06759\n \nTitle:  The Northern Saw-whet Owl\n \nWho:  Larry Fischer\, past President of the Western Connecticut Bird Club\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Description: This is the smallest forest owl (roughly half the size of a screech owl) in eastern North America. In the Fall\, thousands leave their northern breeding grounds in southern Canada and the northern United States and move south to find food and cover. Often called a migrant\, it is more appropriate to refer to them as a “nomad” or a fall “passage bird\,” since they never end up in the same place twice. Despite the fact that they have been studied extensively\, much of their life history remains a mystery.  Former WCBC President and Federally licensed raptor bander\, Larry Fischer will unravel some of the mystery surrounding the life history of the Northern Saw-whet Owl\, drawing from his extensive experience with this small owl\, illustrated with his amazing photographs of the birds in all ages.\n \nLarry has been banding and watching hawks and owls for more than 40 years.  He is a State and Federally licensed bird bander with an emphasis on birds of prey.  He is currently the Connecticut collaborator on broad-winged hawk research with Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Association in Kempton\, PA\, and also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the NorthEast Hawk Watch.\n\n\nFree and open to the public.\n \nContact:  Angela Dimmitt – 860-355-3429
