Workshops

The COA Workshops Committee members at our Annual Meeting.

Join us for a COA Workshop!

The COA Workshops Committee is tasked with organizing events online and around the state that are geared for birders of all skill levels.

From How to use eBird and Birding Technologies to Advanced Shorebird or Gull Identification, our goal is to provide relevant and interesting topics for our birder community.

Current COA Members are able to view our entire library of previously recorded workshops in the Membership Portal (requires login).

If you have questions or suggestions for future workshops, we’d love to hear from you! Please send us an email at workshops@ctbirding.org.
