From Stefan Martin: 12/02/14 - Greenwich -- 8:50 AM; Female Harlequin Duck very distant off Steamboat Avenue in Greenwich. The bird was directly in front of Great Captains Island.

From Jack Swatt: 12/02/14 - Avon, Fisher Meadows -- The GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE and dark morph SNOW GOOSE (BLUE GOOSE) were both there again today.

Westbrook, Menunketesuck Mud Flats -- 2 PURPLE SANDPIPER. Deep River, Pratt Cove -- This is a low tide spot; I was there around 1:30. 12 NORTHERN PINTAIL. From Steve Morytko: 12/02/14 - Mansfield, Hansen's Pond off Wormwood Hill Road -- Redhead has been among a flock of ~100 Ring-necked Ducks at the far end of the pond for at least 2 days and in the past Ring-necked Ducks often stay there until the pond freezes. Easiest (but distant) views are from the dam at the outlet of the pond but a scope is necessary. Otherwise, the pond is surrounded by private property. You can likely pick it up with binoculars if you are willing to walk along the road looking through the trees. Redhead is rather unusual in NE CT. From Paul Carrier: 12/02/14 - Litchfield, near Little Pond -- adult Northern Goshawk.
