Greetings, CT Birders: This list-serve is managed and funded by the Connecticut Ornithological Association, the only all-volunteer, statewide birding organization in CT. COA is dedicated to the birds, birders, and natural habitat of Connecticut. COA does a lot for the CT birding community. It produces two highly-regarded quarterly publications, maintains an extensive calendar of birding events in the state, and offers multiple workshops each year on birding. If you enjoy reading and adding to the posts on the email list-serve, please consider supporting COA by becoming a member. For only $25 per year, you will be supporting the conservation, educational, and recreational activities of COA and you will enjoy several membership benefits. So, join COA today! Thanks and good birding! Chris Loscalzo, COA President
