This is the web page for all things relating to birds at UConn. If you are looking for information on people studying birds, classes about birds, or just places to go birding, this should be the place to look. If you are a student, then we'd encourage you to join the UConn Birding Club, which is an official chapter of the International Collegiate Ornithological Network. Information about the club and its activities can be found on Facebook here.
