Bird Finder

From 2014 to 2019 we recruited some of the best birders in the state to write weekly posts about interesting birds you could find in the state during that particular week. We called it Bird Finder.

About 130 of those short articles have been edited and updated. They provide a valuable look at a large percentage — though definitely not all — of Connecticut's birds. You can find them below, in taxonomical order.
