5/22/2025 - Bird Banding Breakfast - Spring Migration 2025 Have you ever wanted to see a songbird up close? Here is your opportunity! Join Audubon Connecticut's Director of Conservation, Corrie Folsom-O'Keefe, for a morning of bird banding at the charming Bent of the River Audubon Center. You will meet the Bent staff in the visitors' lot at 7:30 AM. Before we hike to the bird banding station, we will walk to the barn for a simple breakfast and enjoy a talk by Allison Middlemass, our Senior Coordinator of Conservation and Programs, on our Motus tower and the Bird Migration Explorer. We never know which birds will land in our nets, but you might see anything from Blue-winged Warblers to Indigo Buntings! You will learn about these old field nesting birds, why we band them, and how this information influences the management of the sanctuary. Be sure to get your cameras ready for a great picture! This exciting experience is for ages 5 and up. Suitable for families and children ages 5+. Accessible parking by the barn. Accessible bathroom on site. Our gator will be available to anyone who needs a ride from the barn to the banding station. ### Event: Bird Banding Breakfast - Spring Migration 2025 Event Date: 5/22/2025 Event Rain Date: 5/23/2025 Event Time: 7:30 AM Admission Fee: $35.00 Registration Deadline: 5/20/2025 Registration Instructions: https://bentoftheriver.audubon.org/events/bird-banding-breakfast-spring-migration-2025 Event Organizers: Bent of the River Audubon Center | 203-405-9113 | kate.pratt@audubon.org | bentoftheriver.audubon.org Event Location: Bent of the River Audubon Center, 185 East Flat Hill Rd.
