From Meredith Sampson:

5/08 - Old Greenwich, Greenwich Point -- HARLEQUIN DUCK in its usual spot, all by
its lonesome, most Brant have left, save 30.  SNOW GOOSE in cove.

Also:
Only 8 warbler species, somewhat subdued at the point.  Seems most warblers are
bypassing the point or sneaking through at night.
6 Common Terns
2 White-throated Sparrows.  (I already miss their "sweet, sweet, Canada,Canada" chorus.
Around town, heard many Northern Parulas, Black-throated Blues, an occasional
Black-throated Green, a couple of Baltimore Orioles.
Over my yard today, 6-7 Chimney Swifts.  Same ones that spent last summer here?
Tomorrow's weather might be interesting with strong NE winds possibly bringing in
something new or rare.
