From Mike Resch: 02/01/14 - Southbury -- 11 AM; Mew Gull continues, seen in field along River Rd. Note that the gull flock was present when we arrived at 9:45, mostly in the field adjacent to River Road, with some feeding up the hill in and around the buildings, and a few on the water in the river. At least one immature Bald Eagle game by a couple times which kept the flock on its toes. From Dan Rottino and family: 02/01/14 - Southbury, River Rd at Purchase Brook intersection -- 10:30 AM; 1 MEW GULL with approximately 500 ring-billed gulls. The bird was seen with several other birders for a few brief moments, in the lower part of the field along River Rd. Then it flew behind and to the left of the barn landing again, at which point I lost sight of it forevermore. We tried in vain to relocate it until 1:30. From Donna Caporaso: 02/01/14 - Stratford, Long Beach -- 4 Snowy Owls; 1 in marshes opposite parking lot, 3 between Long Beach West and Pleasure Beach (down by the round concession stand!) Also at Long Beach, 2nd Cycle Iceland Gull, 1 Peregrine Falcon perched on a tree for quite a while, 5 Snow Buntings. From Himmelmans and Kobaks: 02/01/14 - Old Saybrook, North Cove Road -- (30?) SNOW BUNTINGS in spruce, power lines, and grass. Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- 1 LAPLAND LONGSPUR with flock of SNOW BUNTINGS. SNOWY OWL on a post in Clinton Harbor. From Paul Cianfaglione: 02/01/14 - Enfield, Saint Patrick Cemetery (Pleasant Street) -- 1 drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE. From Tina Green: 02/01/14 - Southport, Harbor Rd. Bridge -- Barnacle Goose continues (with Canada Goose flock) on the water. From Paul Cashman: 02/01/14 - Milford, Silver Sands State Park -- Eastern Meadowlark. From Phil Rusch: 02/01/14 - New London to Orient Point (LI) ferry -- 9:15 AM ferry from NL to OP and back. The ride over to Orient was disappointing with only 1 Bonepart's Gull. The return trip, in CT waters there were 5 Razorbills and 2 more Bonepart's Gulls. (A Thick-billed Murre was way inside New York waters, but could easily stray into CT waters.) From John Oshlick: 02/01/14 - Westhaven Boat Ramp -- Male and Female Redhead present. Look North toward the West River. From Patrick and Gia Comins: 02/01/14 - Windsor, Windsor Landfill -- 3 First cycle Glaucous Gulls and a 4th cycle Iceland Gull. Oh and a somewhat ratty looking 2nd cycle Nelson's Gull.

From Chuck Imbergamo: 02/01/14 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- Northern Pintail drake in the first marsh on the right near the park entrance.
