Note: While I encourage everyone who submits sightings for this report to join CTBirds and post the sightings there (from which I take them for the report), I suspect some people will hesitate because they don't want to receive all the messages from CTBirds. However, understand that one of the options you have with CTBirds is to set the nomail flag. While this is generally used when you will be away for a while, it is also possible to simply keep it on all the time and read CTBirds via the archive.

From Donna Lorello: 2/26 - Branford -- WHITE-WINGED DOVE still here even after the snowfall we had last night, although he had a late start as many of the birds seemed to have - arriving about 7:40 a.m. and not staying very long after feeding heavily on mixed seed. I will keep posting notes regarding his appearances and I am so very happy so many have been able to see/photo him. It's been my pleasure getting to meet so many fine folks. From Kyle Pias with Isabel Gottlieb: 2/26 - Hartford, Goodwin Park -- 1 male and 1 female RUSTY BLACKBIRD foraging near stream that runs through eastern edge of park. From John Eykelhoff: 2/25 - Litchfield, N. Shore Rd (Bantam Lake's Pt. Folly) -- 3 Redheads 2/26 - Litchfield, N. Shore Rd (Bantam Lake's Keeler Cove) -- 2 Redheads From Ray Packard: 2/26 - Litchfield, White Hall Rd. (White Memorial's Museum Feeders) -- 1 Fox Sparrow
