For some birders, part of the fun of birding is compiling lists of bird species seen. COA would like to give Connecticut birders, and those who have birded in Connecticut, the opportunity to post your list totals online. CT Birders’ Lists are updated regularly and posted on the web site. Send your updates to: contact@ctbirding.org
