4/26 -Stamford-Cove Island with Patrick Dugan,Sara Zagorski,Wendy Knothe,Meredith Sampson,and Alec ?

    Sara Z. spotted the Sora early this morning and other highlights include Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs ,SolitarySandpiper,Orchard Oriole,Common Yellowthroat,Yellow Warbler,Warbling Vireo


     Wesport-Grace Salmon Park -11 Least Sandpipers,1 Spotted Sandpiper,1 Baltimore Oriole



                 Mill Pond(Hillspoint Rd.)- 2 pair Blue-winged Teal



      I did check Sherwood Island at the very end of the day around 7PM to see if the Western Meadowlark would show as it has all week,but the model airplane guys were flying until 7:33. I finally gave up as the park was closing at 7:45.I will voice a formal complaint this week because I saw the planes flying over the marsh and the nature path that runs along the marsh while I was walking on the path and they could clearly see me.This cannot be good for the birds and I was told by one of the park people

that they are not allowed to fly over the marsh.To be continued.....
