Shorebird identification made as easy as possible

September 22, 2022 — There are at least a dozen species of shorebirds still to be found on Connecticut’s beaches in late September.

They can be tough to identify. But we’re here to help.

Earlier in the month, Connecticut Audubon Executive Director Patrick Comins presented this shorebird identification workshop via Zoom, in conjunction with the Connecticut Ornithological Association.

It’s comprehensive and easy to understand, with an introduction by COA Board member Allison Black (watch for her on an upcoming Young, Gifted and Wild About Birds). Enjoy!
