From Chuck Imbergamo:
11/05/14 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- one LARK SPARROW in
dumpsters area near campground playground; same place as last year.

From Frank Mantlik:
11/05/14 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- 1 PM; Adult LARK SPARROW
relocated by Sara Zagorski in Campground with sparrow and junco flock,
but far from original site. Six of us looking at it now adjacent to
Mohegan 2 bathroom at extreme eastern (?) end of campground. We are
adjacent to entrance road about 1/2 way to first big rotary (with
large salt marsh on left). I don't think its legal to park along road
and walk into CG. Otherwise go to Swan Pond, take first dirt road on
right, park at end and walk straight into the CG.  Alternately park in
CG lot at Park entrance and walk on paved road east, paralleling and
keeping entrance road on your left. Follow this to Mohegan 2 bathroom
area. About a 10-15 minute walk.

From Carolyn Cimino:
11/05/14 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- 2 PM Lark Sparrow
continues.

From Michaelene Komara:
11/05/14 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- Lark Sparrow continues
behind Mohegan 2 restroom.

From Jerry Connolly with Mickey Komara and Dan Rottino family:
11/05/14 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- LARK SPARROW continues
at 4:30 PM approximately fifty yards northeast of “Mohegan 2” restroom
in campground (near entrance rd).

From Jamie Meyers via Sara Zagorski:
11/05/14 - East Windsor, Broad Brook Mill Pond -- 8 AM; Barnacle Goose
(in with about a 3,000 Canada Goose flock).

From Brian Kleinman:
11/05/14 - Bloomfield, Bloomfield High School, Soccer Field -- around
9:30 there was a CACKLING GOOSE, an adult SNOW GOOSE (presumably the
same birds that were at Filley Pond on 11/3) and a juvenile GREATER
WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE.  (All were in a flock of 250 or so Canada Geese.)
