- Avian Records Committee of Connecticut
- The ARCC keeps records of all birds seen in Connecticut. This includes accidentals (birds from other places who get here by accident, perhaps by getting lost or blown off course), very rare birds and irruptive birds (those who periodically extend their range into an area, but aren't always found there). You can view their updated checklist, or find out how to report a rare sighting here.
- The Connecticut Ornithological Association
- Birds in Connecticut, rare birds seen, and birder's species lists. There are photos of common birds (although I saw at least one mislabeled). You will likely find more bird images there than I will be able to provide.
- Bird Conservation Research, Inc
- Bird Conservation Research, Inc. is a publicly supported non-profit foundation that provides original scientific data for driving conservation action. It also develops high-level educational resources for the science teaching community. The foundation’s focus is on the most diverse wildlife group, the birds, and on the habitats that support them. It primarily deals with southern New England. The site has some nice power points and videos on Connecticut habitats.
