Surveys - Winter Season Protocols

Protocols for the winter surveys will be finalized this spring and posted here later in the year.

Survey methods will be broadly similar to the breeding surveys although, of course, there will be no breeding codes to record.

The Connecticut Bird Atlas aims to provide comprehensive information about the distributions of all species that occur in the state. With the help of the state’s birding community, we will conduct field work during both breeding and non-breeding periods, with data collection focused on describing both where each species occurs and how abundance varies across the state.
