Note: A very birdy day, FAR more so than the report below indicates.
This report is highly selective about which species are included.  For
example, probably a dozen different warbler species were reported
today, including several first-of-the-year, but all were "common"
species so there are no warblers in today's report.  To see what is
really going on check CTBirds!

From Jake Musser:
05/02/14 - New Haven, Edgewood Park -- morning; Wilson's Snipe.
Lincoln's Sparrow, good bird for the spring. Seen well and at close
range in brush next to bridge at north end of park (very close to the
tennis courts).

From Greg Hanisek, Bruce Finnan:
05/02/14 - Kent, River Road -- 12 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers.

From Sara Zagorski:
05/02/14 - Glastonbury, Meshomasic SF -- Two Eastern Whip-poor-wills
seen flying over road, heard 3 calling in different areas.

From Barbara Garrett:
05/02/14 - Shelton Backyard -- 3 White-crowned Sparrows.

From David Lawton:
05/02/14 - Avon -- flyover Glossy Ibis, headed south.
