Welcome to the Connecticut Rare Bird Alert, jointly sponsored by the Connecticut Ornithological Association and the Audubon Council of Connecticut. The bird is most often seen at the high tide in the pools adjacent to the nature center parking lot. This constitutes the first successful nesting of this species for Connecticut. It is difficult, but views can be had from the inner bar, the bar without the nest colonies on it. Station 43 can be reached from Newberry Road off US 5, north of I-291.
Landfills are worth checking even in summer, as non-breeding birds can turn up at any time.
The shorebird migration continues. The Connecticut Rare Bird Alert is jointly sponsored by the Connecticut Ornithological Association and the Audubon Council of Connecticut. Updates are usually made on Wednesday evenings, more often as warranted. Reporting your sightings is the ONLY way this Alert gets updated. The Connecticut Ornithological Association is a non-profit organization which publishes information about Connecticut birds and birding, offers field trips, and sponsors meetings.
