From Howie Sternberg:
12/08/14 - Haddam, Haddam Meadows State Park -- 1 Northern Shrike at
12:40 PM by yellow gate into fish hatchery opposite boat launch.

From Carolyn Cimino:
12/08/14 - Haddam, Haddam Meadows State Park -- 1 RUSTY BLACKBIRD.

From Don Morgan:
12/08/14 - Stratford, Stratford Airport -- "Blue Goose" (dark morph
Snow Goose) mixed in with 100 or so  Canadas inside the airport fence
near Rt 113. Around 1 this afternoon. Viewed  from outside the fence
along the road. A police officer stopped to see what I  was doing and
checked my ID, but didn't give me any grief or tell me I couldn't stay
there. An hour later the flock had moved farther away from the fence
and  probably could have been better seen from behind the old FAA
building.
Long Beach -- 1 Lapland Longspur (mixed in with 11 Horned Larks),
about 100 yards north of the parking lot.

From Lorenzo Kleine:
12/08/14 - Milford, Jonathan Law HS -- The previously reported male
Eurasian Wigeon continues in the pond behind the high school (with
quite a few American Wigeons).
