One Bird, One Place

July 10, 2020 — The weekend is here and you might need fresh ideas about how to quickly satisfy your bird urge.

We can help. We’re introducing a new feature: “One Bird, One Place.”

Each week several experts from Connecticut Audubon’s staff and board, or other friends, will each make a suggestion for where to see one interesting bird in one specific place — one bird, one place.

The idea is that it will be short, sweet, and helpful.

We’ll post it here, on our blog. And if you sign up, we’ll text you a link.

	Red-eyed Vireo	Bluff Point State Park, Groton. The treetops are alive with birds singing as you make your way around the trail loop at Bluff Point.	Suggested by Allison Black
	Great Egret	Listed as threatened in Connecticut. They can be found in nearly any tidal marsh along the coast. Hammonasset Beach State Park and our Milford Point Coastal Center are great places to look.	Suggested by Patrick Comins
	Glossy Ibis	Look for it in coastal marshes like those at Hammonasset Beach State Park.	Suggested by Andy Griswold
	Northern Rough-winged Swallow	Bernie O’Rourke Drive, Middletown. They nest in the drainage pipes built into the retaining wall next to the Coginchaug River, behind Palmer Field, near Washington Street.	Suggested by Jim Arrigoni
