NOTE: Between various other demands on my time and a problem with CTBirds that prevented me from receiving any messages for two days, this is a cumulative report for three days that leaves off some reports that just didn't seem worth including a day or two late. From John Marshall, Hank Golet & Rick Macsuga: 12/29/13 - Old Lyme, Griswold Point & Great Island -- 2 SNOWY OWL, PEREGRINE FALCON, all viewed from the Smith Neck boat launch. From Timothy L Thompson: 12/29/13 - Preston, Amos Lake -- 8:20 AM; Two Greater White-fronted Geese (with several hundred canada's and other wildfowl). Easy views straight out from boat launch.

Woodpecker crossing back and forth over brook that travels under road. Just past tall brown unfinished colonial house on left (no mail box number). From Paul Wolter: 12/29/13 - Madison, Hammonasset Beach State Park -- From Meigs Pt Sunday morning 4 alcid sightings (at least two individuals), two sightings identified as Razorbills. Only once on the water and then only seconds before it dove and not relocated. Other three sightings were flying, one belly flopped the landing, bounced and immediately dove, and not relocated.

From Hank Golet: 12/28/13 - Old Lyme,Great Island -- Snowy Owl was on Great Island beach. From viewing platform, in line with the Saybrook Lighthouse building. I left at 7:45 AM. One SNOWY OWL was seen all day out on the beach, west side of Great Island. A second SNOWY OWL was seen by Bob MacDonnell around 4:15 near the south end of the Island. Shortly both birds flew north and landed on two separate osprey platforms up island where they stayed until it was too dark to see them. Joel Hawkins had seen a Snowy on Griswold Pt earlier and had seen that bird fly to the area where Bob saw his, so definitely 2. All viewing was from the Smith Neck boat launch area. From Tim and Diane Hunt: 12/28/13 - Danbury, south end of Candlewood Lake -- two apparent yearling Golden Eagles flying over the half-frozen lake. Distinctive white markings under their wings gave them away.
