Happening now ... a Roseate Spoonbill visits Connecticut and the Milford Point Coastal Center again!. Sign up for our Rare Bird Alerts for updates (photo taken in 2018 by Lesley Roy) ctaudubon.org/2023/08/rare-b…
A. Not your imagination. Young birds have fledged, which means the population has maybe doubled. Young birds are adult-sized when they fledge so you wouldn't know from size. There've been 2 doz or more at Milford Point on some days. #ospreynation ctaudubon.org/osprey-nation-…

Read about the conservation efforts that contributed to the local success of piping plovers, which come to CT every spring to breed but had been nearly wiped out of the state in the 1980s. @nhregister @CTAudubon

"4 decades of conservation...paying off: in recent years, CT’s piping plover population has quadrupled...& with roughly 1/3 of this year’s fledglings hatched at Milford Point, the sandbar appears to be playing a growing role in the plovers’ survival" nhregister.com/news/article/…

I just wrote this for @CTAudubon: "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" Jeff Fengler took the photo ctaudubon.org/2023/07/northe…

Shorebirds are arriving at Milford Point. It's a great time to view them. But please visit as the tide is dropping & walk below the high tide line. It's for the good of the birds, who are here to feed and rest. ctaudubon.org/2023/07/tips-t…

One good sign that Ospreys are fledging: a visitor to @CTAudubon's Milford Pt Coastal Center yesterday saw 35 (!) Ospreys. The young birds on the Coastal Center are still showing off on the Osprey Cam ctaudubon.org/osprey-nation-…
The Milford Point Ospreys will be fledging any time now but you can still see them on camera as they stretch their wings. ctaudubon.org/2023/07/combin…
So much good conservation and the result is so many Piping Plovers this year at Milford Point. Thank you, diligent volunteers & staff, & to the visitors who keep an eye on this threatened species ctaudubon.org/2023/07/combin…
Eventually 11 pairs nested. This year has been different. Although off-roaders are again a problem, walkers mostly heed the advice of the Connecticut Audubon coastal rangers who patrol the beach. Protective fencing has forced predators to eat things other than baby birds.
And coastal storms have been rare. The result: a record year for Piping Plovers at Milford Point. ctaudubon.org/2023/07/combin…
