CONNECTICUT BIRDER'S LISTS
Connecticut's Birding Organization
For some birders, part of the fun of birding is compiling lists of bird species seen. COA Web would like to give Connecticut birders, and those who have birded in Connecticut, the opportunity to post your list totals online.
CT Birder's Lists are updated four times a year and
posted on the web site.
