FROM Gina Nichol:
03/12/14 - Madison, Hammonasset Beach State Park --  8:30 to 10:30 AM;
Snowy Owl seen from the end of the Moraine Trail.  Seen as I looked up
river and on the left side. The bird was perched up on a log and
probably well seen from the Cedar Island platform.  There was also a
Fox Sparrow sunning in the cedars in the rotary.

FROM Steve Broker:
03/12/14 - East Haven, Mansfield Point/Four Beaches Condominiums/mouth
of the Farm River/Long Island Sound -- 8:45 to 9:30 AM; 1 Drake (full
adult) Eurasian Wigeon observed against Darrow Rocks.

FROM Stephen Thomas:
03/12/14 - West Haven, South Street Beach -- 12:35 PM; 2 Northern
Gannets very near shore, seen without bins.

FROM John Oshlick:
03/12/14 - New Haven, Quinnipiac River near Front Street -- 5 Redhead

FROM Paul Cashman:
03/12/14 - Westport, Sherwood Island State Park -- Red-necked Grebe
continues, seen in the marsh.

FROM Charlie Barnard Jr:
03/12/14 - Stratford -- A Snowy Owl still remains in the marshes near
the entrance booth to Long Beach. It was easily visible, since all but
a trace of the ice and snow was gone from the marsh.

FROM Paul Carrier:
03/12/14 - Litchfield -- In a small open water swamp had 2 Wilson's
Snipe.

FROM Stefan Martin:
03/12/14 - Greenwich -- The EARED GREBE was still present today at the
same location. Incoming tides seem to be the best time for viewing.

on the "bluff".
