From Frank Mantlik

10/21  Stratford

  • McKinney NWR Warehouse Pond - 2 Northern Pintail (females), 2 Yellow-crowned Night-Herons.
  • Stratford Point - flock of 380 Brant in cove.
  • Community Garden (Connors Lane) - Black-throated Blue Warbler. This and a Nashville Warbler were found by Tom Murray.

Madison, Bauer Park, large community garden- No sign of the Blue Grosbeak, but 8 species sparrows including 1 Vesper. Others saw a Grasshopper Sparrow. Great place!

Madison, Hammonassett SP - both loons, Surf Scoters, probable Black Scoters, Peregrine Falcon, 12 American Oystercatchers.

A lot of sparrows and Hermit Thrushes around 10/21.
