Join us for the 2026 Big Sit!

Join Quinnipiac Valley Audubon Society at Hanover Pond in Meriden for The Big Sit. We’ll be gathering by the large parking area on the west side of the pond to identify as many birds as we can!

The Big Sit is a birding event hosted by the New Haven Bird Club every year. The challenge is to identify as many birds as you can in one day while sitting in a 17 foot diameter circle.

This year, QVAS is hosting for two days: on October 10th at Hanover Pond, and October 11th at Riverbound Farm Sanctuary.
