Many CT birders call November ‘rarity month’ since this is the month that rarities often show up here. The weather patterns thus far have not helped. But there have been rarities in other nearby states such as a Black-throated Gray Warbler and a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Massachusetts and Cave Swallows in New York State.
With the winds expected to pick up this afternoon and over the next few days, CT Birders should keep an eye out!
Our CT Birds posting guidelines are below.

Some birds should not be posted for the good of the bird. Examples are directions to accessible bird nests and any day-roosting owls - Screech, Great Horned, Barred, Barn, Long-eared and Saw-whet.
Proper language is expected, personal disagreements should be handled off-line and disruptive posts will not be tolerated.
