From Tina Green, in part with Bill Wallace:
10/22/13 - Westport, CT Audubon Tree Farm -- Eastern Meadowlark.

airplane field. Virginia Rail and Wilson's Snipe flushed while
walking the edge of the marsh at high tide. 2 juvenile White-crowned
Sparrows. Also 1 Bobolink seen and photographed by Bill Wallace

From Ryan MacLean:
10/22/13 - Greenwich, Audubon Greenwich -- Had our nearly annual
October Orange-crowned Warbler halfway up the left side of the field
next to the hawkwatch in the morning. This is the side of the field
closest to Riversville Rd which seems to usually produce atleast one
OC every year. So not all that surprised.
