From Mark Szantyr:
07/30/14 - Kent -- Joy and I paid a visit to the Makarewich home  in
Kent and enjoyed the male Rufous Hummingbird they are hosting.  They
are wonderful folks who made us feel very welcomed.  The gallery above
shows the bird and that it has a distinctly damages proximal portion
of its bill.  It appears to be missing some sheathing.  It is still
very active and feeds well.

From Emily and Dan Rottino:
07/30/14 - Meriden, Castle Craig -- 11:21 AM; 2 Peregrine Falcons seen
from I-691.

From John Oshlick:
07/30/14 - West Haven, Sandy Point -- 1 Red Knot and 1 Black Skimmer.

From Peter DeGennaro:
07/30/14 - West Hartford, West Farms Mall -- While waiting for the
bus, I watched 5 Common Ravens move into the parking lot chasing away
all nearby gulls, pigeons, and crows.
