For some birders, part of the fun of birding is compiling lists of bird species seen. COA gives Connecticut birders, and those who have birded in Connecticut, the opportunity to post their CT list totals online (100 State birds minimum). Interested parties should send their quarterly updates to: contact@ctbirding.org
