    Book Club Zoom - The Comfort of Crows

    Book Club Zoom - The Comfort of Crows


    January 6, 2026

    The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year ~Margaret Renkl

    Zoom Meeting Date: January 6th  Time: 6:30 – 7:30 PM

    In The Comfort of Crows, Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest box they used in spring—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer.

    Shorebird Walk at Harkness State Park


    January 10, 2026

    Most of North America's shorebird species winter in South & Central America, heading north to breed in the high Arctic, but some spend the winter here in Connecticut. Some of these birds breed in Connecticut, while others start their southbound journey in late summer.

    All About Owls Webinar

    All About Owls Webinar


    January 14, 2026

    Perhaps no other family of birds captures the imagination of birders and non-birders alike more than owls. These nocturnal birds often remain mysterious to us, with their presence revealed mainly through their calls. In this webinar, Conservation & Education Coordinator Joe Attwater will go over these amazing birds and how they thrive when most of the bird world is inactive.
