Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

I am the author of Birding Western Massachusetts and a birding columnist for New England Newspapers. Birding in Colchester is actually very good, we have wetlands, and upland forests with a variety of rural small farms and suburban birds. Happy to give birding tours and info.

M Aronson New Haven Weekend English/Dutch

I live a five minute walk to Connecticut's May Warbler Mecca, East Rock Park. It is a 12 minute drive to the Light House Point fall hawk watch. 15 minutes to the Piping Plover and Least Tern breeding colony in West Haven. I rather enjoy scrappy urban birding and am happy to wander around the industrial weed fields of New Haven or Bridgeport's now closed city dump. If the weather is bad I can take you on a bird tour of Yale University's two art museums or point the way to the Peobody Museum's collection of stuffed ones. I'm happy to try and help you find what you are looking for either by taking you there or suggesting places you might try.

Mixed upland forest, some grassland areas, 1 hour drive to shorebirding. 2 hour drive to Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in Mass. Available anytime during July and August. Tolland is 30 minutes east of Hartford. My son and I are also very serious bird photographers.
