Waterfowl are a valuable part of Connecticut's natural resources. Approximately 30 species of waterfowl spend some part of the year in Connecticut's wetlands, rivers, estuaries, and other water bodies. Many species that breed in northern New England and Canada come to Connecticut in the winter to to find food on our lakes, rivers, and in Long Island Sound.
Join DEEP Wildlife Division Biologist Paul Benjunas and learn about Connecticut's waterfowl and some of the research being conducted to better understand and conserve these species.
This presentation will focus on the waterfowl species seen in the state. Tips on their identification, habits, and migration patterns will help you find ducks like Wood Duck, Hooded, Red-breasted, and Common Mergansers, Greater Scaup, Canvasbacks, Buffleheads, and Northern Shoveler, loons, and geese like Snow Goose and Brant.
