Fall is an exciting time to go birding in Connecticut, as a huge diversity of species make their way through the state from breeding grounds further north. Many of these birds follow the Connecticut River valley as it winds its way from Canada to Long Island Sound, making Connecticut a crucial stopover state and a great spot to go birding during migration. The lower Connecticut River Estuary provides an important feeding and resting spot before heading out over the open waters of the sound and Atlantic Ocean. Join CT Audubon’s Joe Attwater as we go through how and why these species migrate, which species you can expect to see in the state and how to identify them, and how you can help make their journeys safer.
