While there are definitely less birds in the Northeast during the winter in comparison with the summer, there are still many birds to be found during the winter months in Connecticut. Some Connecticut birds do not migrate to warmer areas, instead choosing to brave the Northeast winter and stay in Connecticut all year round. A few of our favorite birds you might see in Connecticut during the winter months include Buffleheads, Wood Ducks, Long-eared Owls, and White-breasted Nuthatches.
