SUMMARY:RTP Estuary Center: Where are the Birds and How do we protect them - November 18\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:CT River Lecture Series – \n\nWhere are the Birds and How Do We Protect Them: \n\nResults from the CT Bird Atlas\, with Chris Elphick\n\n\n\nThe CT Bird Atlas is a project to map all species of birds that occur in the state of Connecticut. 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
