From Sol Satin:
10/14/14 - Guildford, Sachem's Head -- morning; 5 ROYAL TERNS, 1 adult
Northern Gannet.

From Mike Warner:
10/14/14 - Wilton, Norwalk River Valley Trail 2 -- 9:20 AM; I saw an
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER on the recently completed second segment of the
Norwalk River Valley Trail (NRVT) today.  This second segment begins
where the first segment left off on Raymond Lane.  It runs NNE and
ends on Rt. 106 (Sharp Hill Road) opposite Autumn Ridge, where there
is suggested parking.  Starting from there, the bird was seen feeding
with several Yellowrumps, Blackpolls and a Blackthroated Blue Warbler
along the second straight-away where there is a stand of Pines on the
right side.  Using eBird maps, in the upper right corner, change the
setting from Terrain to Street, magnify as necessary,  and the labeled
Norwalk River Valley Trail  is shown as a gray line, starting at the
intersection or Rt. 7 and Wolfpit Road to Sharp Hill Road at Autumn
Ridge.
