Connecticut Audubon Society News: Young, Gifted and Wild About Birds: Back for 2024

Clubs and Organizations

January 9, 2024

From: The Connecticut Audubon Society

The schedule is set for the 2024 Young, Gifted and Wild About Birds series, and I want to give you the chance to buy tickets now at a big discount.

We've planned 5 great online presentations by the best and the brightest experts we could find. The first two are scheduled for later this month.

This year's topics:

  • Snowy Owls, with Rebecca McCabe of Hawk Mountain and Project SNOWStorm (this one will be really great!).
  • Protecting birds from building crashes, with Viveca Morris and Meredith Barges of Yale; and the unequal nature of birds in Connecticut's cities, with Diego Ellis Soto, also of Yale (2 presentations about 2 of Connecticut's most critical conservation issues).
  • The threats from visitors to the state's beach-nesting birds, with our own Stefan Martin and Beth Amendola, who works for our friends at Audubon Connecticut.
  • Bird finding and photography, with Heather Wolf, who plies her trade at Brooklyn Bridge State Park (this one will be nothing but fun).

We have an array of our own experts—Heather Kordula, Ken Elkins, Stefan Martin, Matt Bell—to introduce the speakers and guide the conversations.

All proceeds go toward improving habitats on our sanctuaries.

You can chose individual presentations (all the info you need is HERE).

But I recommend that you sign up for all 5 for the price of 4!
