Hello all, Luke Tiller and I took a jaunt out to Pleasure Beach in Bridgeport during mid-morning. We found three Thrush species foraging in the Rosehips and Sumac patch at the end of the Long Beach parking lot and had a few notable shorebirds in between Pleasure and Long beaches. The fog seemed to keep the migrants down but as the temperature increased the passerine activity began to decrease with the fog. A list of our sightings is below: Location: Long Beach Observation date: 10/5/07 Number of species: 69 American Black Duck X Double-crested Cormorant X Great Blue Heron 6 Great Egret 20 Snowy Egret 5 Osprey 1 Northern Harrier 2 Cooper's Hawk 1 American Kestrel 1 Merlin 1 Peregrine Falcon 2 Black-bellied Plover 2 American Golden-Plover 3! we were very surprised to find these guys at lowtide1 Semipalmated Plover 4 Killdeer 1 Greater Yellowlegs 6 Red Knot 2 possibly the same individuals reported from a few weeks ago?
