SUMMARY:Branford Land Trust: Speaker - The Mission of Preserving Our Wildlife with Christine Cummings\, A Place Called Hope 1/28/2026
DESCRIPTION:Branford Land Trust:\n WINTER SPEAKER SERIES The Mission of Preserving Our Wildlife with Christine Cummings\, A Place Called Hope\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nJoin the Branford Land Trust on Tuesday\, January 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium at the Blackstone Memorial Library for “The Mission of Preserving Our Wildlife” with Christine Cummings\, A Place Called Hope.\n \nChristine will speak on the mission of A Place Called Hope\, with an emphasis on birds of prey. She will introduce and be joined by two species\, a hawk and an owl\, offering us the chance to connect intimately with these incredible birds. Since 98% of the conflicts these animals face have to do with us humans\, Christine will offer simple tips or ways that we can all better coexist with the wildlife within our own backyards.\n \nChristine has a background working with animals and devoted her adult life to Wildlife Rehabilitation since 2005. In 2007\, APCH was founded\, with the mission of preserving wildlife for the future. As a State and Federally licensed Bird of Prey Wildlife Rehabilitator\, Christine admits on average 500-600 patients per year. Her daily routine consists of catering to the needs of injured\, orphaned\, or sick birds of prey\, as well as the 40 resident ambassador birds who call A PLACE CALLED HOPE home. Raising awareness about these incredible birds and the common conflicts they face living so closely to us humans is her educational goal. Learn more at www.aplacecalledhoperaptors.com.\n \nThis event and the Winter Speaker Series events are free and open to the public. It will be held in-person at the Blackstone Library (758 Main St\, Branford).

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
