From Charles Makarewich:
07/29/14 - Kent, Kent Hollow -- Rufous Hummingbird at feeder.
Brilliant in color and, never having seen one, assume it to be an
adult male. Have a lot of great photos.
From Nick Bonomo with Glenn Williams, Phil Rusch, and Andy
Griswold in part:
07/29/14 - Old Lyme, Griswold Pt with GW and PR -- flyby SOLITARY
SANDPIPER, a single CLIFF SWALLOW.
Old Lyme, offshore with AG, GW and PR -- We set up a fish oil slick
around 11:00 AM at 41.230619, -72.303386 on a 10-15mph breeze from the
west. After 30-45 minutes of chumming, a single WILSON'S STORM-PETREL
flew in directly from the east. The bird worked the slick briefly
before moving on. Another half-hour of chumming produced no more
birds.
Lower CT River from Deep River to Essex with AG, GW and PR -- 16
FORSTER'S TERNS including family groups with begging juveniles. Some
of these could be scoped from the Deep River town dock looking up
river.
Guilford, Shell Beach Rd marsh with GW and PR -- 2 adult LITTLE BLUE
HERONS, continuing STILT SANDPIPER and LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER (the only
dowiticher on site while we were there), and a PECTORAL SANDPIPER.
