From Patrick Comins:
11/10/14 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- Lark Sparrow near the
west side of the swan pond at 8:40 am.  Thank you to the birder who
helped me track it down!

From Julian Hough:
11/10/14 - Middlefield, Lyman Orchards -- Yellow-headed Blackbird was
showing well at 8:00am in the ploughed field (Lyman's Corn Maze) at
Lyman Orchards at the corner of Rt 147 and Rt 157. Best viewed from Rt
147 looking back toward the pond.  The flock disperses into the
surrounding trees but frequently returns to feed in the same field, so
the bird obviously goes missing for periods. These are busy roads,
please pull over safely if looking for this bird.

From Bill Banks:
11/10/14 - Middlefield, Lyman Orchards -- Yellow-headed Blackbird in
the same field.

From David Coutu:
11/10/14 - Middlefield, Lyman Orchard -- Yellow Headed Blackbird
continues same location 3:30PM.  Good looks first perched in adjacent
tree.  I located and watched as it joined the feeding flock below.

From Ryan MacLean:
11/10/14 - Greenwich, Quaker Ridge -- extremely distant Juv Golden
Eagle heading SW towards Long Island Sound.

From Charles Trapani:
11/10/14 - East Windsor, Broad Brook Pond -- The Barnacle Goose came
in with the huge Canada flock about 10 AM, and continued until at
least 11:10.

From Steve Spector:
11/10/14 - Milford, Milford Point, sandbars -- 2 Nelson's Sparrows,
"Ipswich" Savannah Sparrow (around 3:30 PM).
