A followup to my post from 1/21 (below). I keep a bird journal - of the pen and ink variety - which is organized by weeks of the year, so I can get a quick snapshot of what birds have been around within the same time period. Well, imagine my surprise when I went to enter my January 21st harrier in Westbrook for 2015, and discovered that there was also a January 21st harrier in Westbrook for 2013! So my advice, to anyone who needs to get a northern harrier on their checklist: visit Route 1 in Westbrook on January 21st of next year. :-) Tammy Eustis, Chester -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CT Birds] Westbrook, 1/21: Northern Harrier From: Tammy Eustis via CTBirds <ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org> Date: Wed, January 21, 2015 12:55 pm To: "CT Birds" <ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org> Westbrook, 1/21 - Got a beautiful look at a NORTHERN HARRIER working the marshes across Route 1 from Brewer's Marina in Westbrook, around 10:30 this morning. Some hovering, some flapping and gliding, and a flash of the bright white rump patch - all in the time it took me to drive by. ~ Tammy Eustis, Chester _______________________________________________ This list is provided by the Connecticut Ornithological Association (COA) for the discussion of birds and birding in Connecticut.
