Uncommon Spring Bird Migrants In Connecticut Zoom Webinar

Every spring, Connecticut sees the return of its warm weather bird species from their wintering grounds further south. Some birds stay to breed in the state, while others pass through on their way north. Some species end up here from far out of their range, sending birders flying for their binoculars! On Wednesday, March 31 at 7 p.m., CT Audubon Society teacher- naturalist Joe Attwater will give an illustrated Zoom talk for the Essex Library that will focus on these rare visitors to our state and how they can end up here. This event is sponsored by a donation to the library from the Peach Pit Foundation and the Community Foundation of Middlesex County.

Joe Attwater is a teacher-naturalist with the Connecticut Audubon Society’s RTP Estuary Center. Joe leads many of the center’s bird related programs including hikes, guided owl prowls, webinars and virtual mini-courses. Joe has a B.S. in Wildlife Biology from the University of Rhode Island, where he focused on ornithology. He enjoys hiking and birding in his spare time.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. For more information or to register, please call the Essex Library at 860-767-1560 or see https://www.youressexlibrary.org/
