DEEP: Avoid areas of nesting birds

The public should stay at least 50 yards away from places where large concentrations of birds are gathered, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said. “(Avoid) areas that are roped off or marked with signs designating nesting locations,” DEEP said. People visiting beaches are often unaware of the shorebirds nesting in the sands nearby swimming and fishing areas. This can lead to nests getting accidentally destroyed or abandoned. “Tiny fledglings that blend into their surroundings can get trampled and killed — especially during the busy summer beach season,” DEEP said. Beachgoers should ensure they’re alert at all times to keep the birds, and themselves, safe.
