Sadly I heard gunshots this morning as well on the Windsor Locks Canal State Park path. I believed they were coming from other side of river. Probably should’ve left in hindsight…
Between yesterday and today had 29 species including:
2 Bald Eagles perched high overlooking river
Peregrine Falcon - quite vocal
Ring billed gulls on river, Mallards, Wood ducks on canal. The large flocks of geese usually present have moved on.
10-15 Cedar Waxwings feasting on berries
Pileated, Hairy, Downy, Red Bellied Woodpeckers
Winter Wren and vocal Carolina Wren
Tufted titmouse, Black-capped Chickadee, White throat sparrows, White breasted nut hatch
*Merlin ID’d Snow Buntings for three consecutive days, but unable to visualize. Park closes on the 14th for the season

South Windsor: Station 43 (from Newberry Rd) 11/4/24. I went to look for
the Sanderling that's been seen there. Did not see it, but was not able to
spend much time because someone started shooting too close by. Bad idea to
go there right now except Sunday - with hunting allowed on the adjoining
property. I managed to quick scan about 9 American Coot & 10 Wood Duck
before the birds & I fled.
