ANNUAL Membership Meeting and Get-Together
Let’s celebrate getting together in person after a two year hiatus!
Stow Grove Park, Area #3 (Map)
“Each February, for four days, the world comes together for the love of birds. Over these four days [people] spend time in their favorite places watching and counting as many birds as they can find and reporting them to us. These observations help scientists better understand global bird populations before one of their annual migrations.

Join Coni Edick from the Santa Barbara Audubon Society as we dive into the sensory richness of birdsong. We will explore the variety of ways birds communicate, discover how birds help us to connect with nature and sample some of the birdsong we can find locally.
Coni Edick is a member of the Santa Barbara Audubon Society (SBAS), where she has been volunteering as a bird handler and nature interpreter with SBAS’s “Eyes in the Sky” raptor education program since 2002.
All are welcome. The presentation is appropriate for visually impaired and not-visually impaired audiences.

Here’s A Fun Activity You Can Do on Your Own!
The New Haven Bird Club is holding a Big Sit! birding event on October 10th and 11th. It’s free, and open to everyone.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept of a big sit, the idea is to establish a circle 17 feet in diameter and then try to see as many birds as possible from within that circle in one day.
The circle can be anywhere – even in your backyard – and you can bird for as many hours as you want; you can do either day and it doesn’t have to be the full day.
No pre-registration is required. You report your sightings using eBird.
If you are interested, more information can be found at https://www.thebigsit.org/.
