Most of North America’s shorebird species winter in South & Central America, heading north to breed in the high Arctic. Some of these birds winter in CT, while others start their northbound journey in early spring. 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.
