With the change in season, many birds that headed south over the winter are coming back to the northeast. This hour, we sit down with Connecticut’s state ornithologist. 

It’s the time of year birds are finding mates and raising chicks. What behaviors should we be on the lookout for?

We also learn about a citizen science project happening in the state: the Connecticut Bird Atlas.

And we take your calls, tweets, and emails. What birds are you on the lookout for this spring?
