Greetings CT Birders and welcome to August. Southbound migration has already begun for some species. This Spring, northbound migrants seemed to just pass by Connecticut - let's hope we do better this season! That Flamingo keeps flying between NY and MA and as of yesterday he is still visiting RI...when will he realize how welcome he would be in our great state?! Our CT Birds posting guidelines are below. *Please sign your posts with your first and last name and your town!* Thank you and Good Birding, Chuck Imbergamo CT Birds Moderator Madison CT Birds guidelines: This list is for sharing information about birds and birding in Connecticut.
