From Patrick Comins: 01/24/14 - Windsor, Windsor landfill -- first Cycle Thayer's Gull. I also had at least 3 Iceland Gulls, one first cycle Lesser Black-backed Gull and a small funky dark gull I'm not putting a name on. And a Black Vulture. From Robert Hutton: 01/24/14 - New Haven, Long Wharf -- 7:30 AM; Snowy Owl was sighted behind the rocky outcrop at the pier. It could not be seen from the other end of the pier. This looks like different bird as there was no yellowing around the eye, unless, of course, the ye problem is gone. It left at 7:40. From Sean Murtha: 01/24/14 - Norwalk -- a COMMON RAVEN flying over Highland Avenue, just south of Brien McMahon High School.
