Folks,
In collaboration with Bird Observer staff, we have created an online free visual guide to shorebirds of New England. Use this short URL to get to it directly: https://www.birdobserver.org/NESG.
The first seventeen species accounts are currently on-line and active. Another 15 species accounts are projected to be available within the next 6 months. The guide is designed primarily as a visual aid that can be used in the field on your smart phone; it is also accessible via tablet or computer.
Our hope is that you find this guide useful for finding and identifying shorebirds in our region. Due to severe declines in the populations of most shorebird species over the past several decades, it is important that bird and nature-lovers become as familiar as possible with these birds and advocate for their conservation.
It is also important that you communicate to us the short-comings, errors and inconsistencies of this guide so that we can improve future versions.
Enjoy the shorebirds.
