The Audubon Shop is my go-to spot for all my birding gear. Jerry and his staff are exceptionally knowledgeable birders with years of experience regarding binoculars, scopes, tripods, bird feeders, and birdseed. The small but well-stocked store is a gem. Highly recommended! Buy local!

Ordered a pair of binoculars from the shop online. Lightning fast shipping, and was carefully wrapped. I was very impressed and the binoculars were lovely. Would definitely do business with this shop again :) Thank you for being so prompt in your handling.

Incredible place, great advice and super friendly staff! Fantastic selection of all you need for your birds.
The Audubon Shop is the original birding store in Connecticut, established in 1986. Owned and operated by Janet and Jerry Connolly, we are located in an historic home on the Post Road in Madison, a town situated on Long Island Sound. The Audubon Shop is widely known by birders throughout the state and the country as the place for binoculars and telescopes, tripods, international travel and field guides, and expert advice. Seasonal guided bird walks are listed under Bird Walks and Talks on our home page. Backyard birdwatchers will find a vast array of bird feeders (squirrel proof? – yes they exist!), bird seed that attracts the widest variety of birds, nesting boxes, artwork and gifts for any occasion, field guides and books.
