From Ray Belding: 12/16/13 - LHAS CBC -- Birds of interest: Black Vulture, Iceland Gull, Fox Sparrow, Pine Siskin. From Mike Resch: 12/16/13 - Milford -- The female Harlequin Duck was relocated near Merwin Point as of 11 AM. It was actually in the cove just a bit west of the point actively diving, so it was under the water a large portion of the time. I parked at Sloppy Jose's (186 Hillside Ave) and poked my head between a couple houses to look into the cove to the northeast (the large american flag out on the rocky island was in the background). From Frank Gallo: 12/16/13 - Milford, or perhaps West Haven? -- 2:15 PM; the female Harlequin Duck was sitting on the rocks just west of Merwin point in West Haven. From Roy Harvey: 12/16/13 - Stratford, Long Beach -- 10:50 AM; Snowy Owl in the marsh, viewed from behind the end of the parking lot looking back toward Oak Bluff Ave and the causeway. Only the upper half was visible, but it appeared to be a juvenile. 12:00 Noon, with Colleen Talbot; a 2nd Snowy Owl, this one clearly an adult, in plain veiw a bit to the left of the original; after a short while it flew briefly and disappeared into marsh. Short Beach -- a good sized flock of Snow Buntings (alternately mixing with and seperating from a similarly sized flock of Horned Larks). From James Sherwonit: 12/16/13 - Stratford, Long Beach -- 12:45 PM; Snow Owl still in marsh as seen from parking area at Long Beach, looking back toward the airport. From Frank Mantlik: 12/16/13 - Stratford, Birdseye boat ramp -- LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, 2 Lapland Longspurs. Long Beach -- 2 SNOWY OWLS in salt marsh. Sikorsky Airport -- Lapland Longspur with 25 Horned Larks. Stratford Point -- 1 Snow Bunting (with 25 Horned Larks). Short Beach -- EURASIAN WIGEON.

One less than the other day when an immature female Sharp-shinned took one. From John Ogren: 12/16/13 - Old Saybrook, from Clinton Ave, South Cove -- at low tide (3 PM) male EUASIAN WIGEON (probably moved from Maynard's due to ice), NORTHERN SHOVELER, 2 male NORTHERN PINTAIL.

Byram Beach Park -- Snowy Owl. My scoping of every island and rooftop finally paid off with the Owl showing well at sunset on an offshore island. Awesome end to the day. From Meredith Sampson: 12/15/13 - Old Greenwich, Greenwich Point -- NORTHERN PINTAIL, 3 AMERICAN PIPITS, WINTER WREN. (A Snowy Owl was sighted and photographed during count week in Lucas Point in Old Greenwich.)
