Natural Selections

One of the great things about the bird world is that you just never know.

You never know, for example, when a species that hasn’t nested in the state in 20 or 30 years will suddenly settle down and raise a family on your sanctuary.

Which is what a pair of Northern Bobwhite did this year at Connecticut Audubon’s Bafflin Preserve in Pomfret.

We just posted a complete account on our website.

Read it to find out why there's more to this story than just a rare nesting occurrence.

Read, "Northern Bobwhite joins the list of breeding birds at the Bafflin Preserve in Pomfret. But for this grassland species, there’s more to the story"

125-Bird Challenge

Birders found 3 dozen species at our Pomfret Center over the weekend, 6 dozen at Milford Point 2 dozen at Stratford Point. And that's just a small sampling of our sanctuaries.

They are great places to go for Connecticut Audubon's 125th anniversary 125-Bird Challenge.

The 125-Bird Challenge is just for fun. You should try it.
