The Greenwich-Stamford Summer Bird Count was conducted this past weekend. Highlights from my area which encompassed all of Old Greenwich and Riverside and part of coastal Stamford - 72 species, including: Brown Thrasher Least Flycatcher Eastern Wood Pewee Eastern Phoebe Purple Martins (6) - with hopes of a new colony forming in Riverside. Yellow-crowned Night Heron Gull-billed Terns (2) - not seen by any of our party. (I'm banging my head over this one as we arrived at the point minutes after this sighting by Tom Baptist.) Laughing Gulls (22) Chimney Swifts (23) - seem to be on the increase. Nice! Marsh Wren Thanks to Cynthia Ehlinger and Debby Ethridge for their diligent and dedicated efforts as my "teammates". >From Meredith Sampson: 6/07-08 - Old Greenwich, Greenwich Point: BROWN THRASHER, 2 GULL-BILLED TERNS, MARSH WREN.
