It's not too early to be thinking about this year's Christmas Bird Count. Regional compiler Steve Broker hasshared the confirmed count dates for the 2025-26 season. They are posted on the COA website at https://www.ctbirding.org/connecticut-christmas-bird-count-schedule-announced/ Note: Four counts still need to be confirmed and they are listed at the bottom of the list. We will update the list as new information comes in. - Cynthia S Ehlinger President, Connecticut Ornithological Association Riverside
