Meet the Birds of Bent of the River

The sustainably managed habitat found here is home to hundreds of wildlife species, including early successional birds of conservation concern such as Blue-winged Warbler, American Woodcock, Black-billed Cuckoo, Eastern Kingbird, Gray Catbird, Prairie Warbler, Eastern Towhee, Field Sparrow, Indigo Bunting, and Orchard Oriole. Our stewardship efforts focus on maintaining a permanent array of early successional and shrubland habitats—one of the largest managed areas of this type on protected land in Connecticut.
