Shorebird Walks

Most of North America’s shorebird species winter in South & Central America, heading north to breed in the high Arctic. Some of these birds breed in Connecticut, while others start their southbound journey in late summer. Join us as we look for many of our shorebird species at some of the best spots around southeastern Connecticut and learn how you can help these charismatic birds. $ 13 for members; $18 for non-members.
