Spring is here and that means birds are heading north! The documentary The Flyway of Life from @TomasKoeck highlights the wonder of migration and is premiering on Earth Day in Fairfield, CT. Audubon's @Bird_Wells will be part of a panel after the film.

Unsecured food - like bird seed - is a leading cause of human-bear conflicts in Connecticut. @CTDEEPNews + Audubon recommend taking down bird feeders this spring and summer. Birds will be ok, since they rely on caterpillars, insects, + other natural food to feed their young.

Birds like the American Kestrel depend on grasshoppers and other insects to feed their young, and train them to forage. Neonic pesticides pose a direct threat to their survival. Tell your lawmaker to support HB6916 and limit these pesticides in CT!

Just announced by @SenBlumenthal, @audubon_ct, @CTDEEPNews and @noaa📢 A tremendous $2.7M in funding will help conserve salt marsh and coastline at Hammonasset Beach State Park + create community events and jobs! https://t.co/zxvIh7XL9N

Chicks are officially hatching on our coast! Least Tern, Piping Plover, and American Oystercatchers babies are TINY and BLEND IN with the sand, so please give them space and spread the word to #ShareTheShore!

Bald Eagle populations were declining fast in the 1970s, but thanks to increased protections under the Endangered Species Act, the species has rebounded. Now, the bedrock law needs your help. Urge your Members of Congress to stand up for it: https://t.co/RSyJpnmVaL

Yes, you can take down bird feeders to help prevent human-bear conflict! In the spring and summer breeding seasons, birds rely on caterpillars, insects, and other natural food sources to feed their young. Learn more via @CTDEEPNews https://t.co/YsYwIiGMs5

On behalf of 96 million birders in the US, thank you to the House for passing the Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act! It reauthorizes & strengthens a critical tool to protect migratory birds across our hemisphere. #BringBirdsBack

When the sky goes dark in the middle of the day, animals get weird. Scientists are hoping to learn more about these reactions during April’s upcoming eclipse—and you can help them out by observing the wildlife near you. https://t.co/MylFUWQsat

⏰Urgent action needed today! CT's Appropriations Committee is considering a bill against the use of rodenticides. These poisons may not target birds, but they do kill them in gruesome ways.

Audubon has received $2 million in @USDA funding to expand the Bird-Friendly Maple program in CT, NY, PA, ME, MN, VT, and WI! We look forward to helping more producers manage their sugarbush in ways that help birds + other wildlife🍁

Great Horned Owls are early nesters - they lay eggs now, which gives their chicks plenty of time to develop. If you see owls, please stay quiet and give them space to avoid disturbing them at this critical time. If your approach causes a bird to fly, you're too close!

Applause to @GovNedLamont on a budget proposal that addresses extreme heat, sea level rise, + other climate impacts on birds + people! 💚$5.75M for statewide resiliency planning + climate preparedness 💚$5M increase for @CTDEEPNews resilience grant + loan program

It's #NationalMapleSyrupDay! Do you know where your syrup is from? While many maple products may look and taste the same, the forests they come from can be managed in different ways. Learn how @audubon_ct is working to support #BirdFriendly sugarbush:

Wild Turkey for $1,000 please! Question: Did you know you can discern a turkey’s sex from its droppings? It's true. A female's droppings are spiral-shaped, while a male's are shaped like this letter...

More than 37,000 hawks, vultures, eagles, and falcons have passed over the Greenwich Audubon Center's Hawk Watch site so far this year! Here are more top spots for hawk sitings. https://t.co/5ID7Fz1sRw

Thanks to @audubon_ct, Great Meadows Marsh is newly restored with 150,000 native shrubs and plants being planted including 3,200 seedlings of the endangered Marsh pink flower. It’s also now a hub for science research—check out what they’re working on.
