By popular demand, Sunrise Birding will offer a series of Guided Bird Walks to witness the unfolding of spring. These professionally guided Bird Walks in Fairfield and New Haven Counties in Connecticut will focus on migrating and nesting land birds, hawks, shorebirds, and terns. Most walks will range from 2-4 hours, weather permitting. Pre-registration is required. The fee for guided Bird Walks is $10 per person unless otherwise noted and online registration is required (see below). A confirmation with directions and meeting location will be emailed to registered participants a few days before each event.  Please review the terms and conditions>> prior to registering.  Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather, bring binoculars, insect repellent, water, and a spotting scope (if you have one).  More about Sunrise Birding Guided Walks>
