From Steve Mayo: 12/14/13 - East Haven -- I relocated the male Barrow's Goldeneye today at 7:20 AM and Steve Broker had it at 2 PM.  It was seen among 160 Common Goldeneyes at the same location (off East Haven's South End Point at the end of Brazos Road). From Chris Loscalzo: 12/14/13 - New Haven, New Haven CBC -- CACKLING GOOSE (in Quinnipiac River in New Haven), drake EURASIAN WIGEON (off Indian Neck in Branford), HARLEQUIN DUCK (Merwin Point, Milford), BARROW'S GOLDENEYE (in East Haven), KING RAIL (in Tabor Marsh in Branford), adult ICELAND GULL (in Quinnipiac Marsh in Hamden), SNOWY OWL (at Long Wharf in New Haven Harbor), RED-HEADED WOODPECKER (continuing bird in New Haven), MARSH WREN (in Branford), VESPER SPARROW (in North Haven), WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, and a large flock of RUSTY BLACKBIRDS (in Edgewood Park in New Haven). Notable misses included: Pied-billed Grebe, both vultures, Merlin, Black-bellied Plover, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Snow Bunting. From Russ Smiley: 12/14/13 - Stonington, Stonington Point -- 9:00 AM; two Red-necked Grebes. From Ken Elkins & Lori Mott: 12/14/13 - Southbury, River Road, Mitchell Farm -- 500+ large gulls with at least 1 Iceland Gull and 1 Glaucous Gull. Also a flock of 250+ sparrow of 8 species including 1 Vesper Sparrow. From Keith Mueller: 12/14/13 - Madison, Circle Beach -- 2 adult Iceland Gulls ("FC") continues and an additional large adult possibly one of the other Gulls from last year... it seemed to recognize me and appeared familiar with my routine. Also Purple Sandpipers. ***Just a Reminder*** Remember Circle Beach is a Private Beach, Please Do Not walk up onto the beach unless I am there; you can join me. Otherwise, view the Gulls from the road. The owners have been very generous in allowing me private access to the beach, I would hate to have that compromised. From Paul Carrier: 12/14/13 - Harwinton yard -- Early snow brought 3 Purple Finch to feeder. Wonder what the 10.5" we are expected to get here might bring tomarrow? From Ray Belding via Dave Tripp: 12/14/13 - New Milford -- Ray Belding found an adult male YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD mixed with Common Grackles at a feeder on the corner of Hartwell Rd and Reservoir Rd during the Woodbury-Roxbury CBC. I re-found it in the corner of the cornfield behind the white building. Look for the grackles and be patient.
