Birdcraft Sanctuary Bird Checklist

The Birdcraft Sanctuary Bird Checklist is a handy pamphlet that you can download, print and bring with you on your next visit to the Sanctuary. It’s a convenient way to keep track of birds you see.

The Connecticut Audubon Society extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to Aidan Kiley for his outstanding work in researching and compiling this checklist. His outstanding volunteer contribution in helping Birdcraft continue to be a vital area resource is invaluable, and his work also helps support our mission towards conserving Connecticut’s environment through science-based education and advocacy focused on the state’s bird populations and habitats.

Our Senior Director of Science and Conservation, Milan Bull, notes that due to Aidan’s skill and dedication, “This is the most comprehensive checklist we have ever had for the Birdcraft Sanctuary. It is a significant addition to our efforts and will be extremely useful to all those who enjoy birding at the Sanctuary.”

Aidan Kiley is an environmental science student who started birding in middle school and has been visiting Connecticut Audubon locations ever since. The Birdcraft and Larsen Wildlife Sanctuaries are two of his favorite spots to bird. Aidan is also a bird photographer and avid eBirder, where he serves as the Hotspots Editor for Connecticut.
