If anyone wants to try and find the Rail, it was on the main path east of

dead goldenrod. It was just beyond the fir tree on the left side. Unless it
comes out on the path, you won't be able to see it but it might be calling
if its still there.

Late this morning walking the dog in Machimoodus SP in East Haddam, I ran across 2 Evening Grosbeaks by the lower pond near the main parking area. Also saw a Great Horned Owl being chased through the trees by a mob of crows and a peregrine that was incidentally flushed by another Great Horned Owl. I didn’t expect to see anything other than the “usual” winter fare given the crowds of people out enjoying the park.

Subject: [CT Birds] Thanksgiving Reflections |
Hi all,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This Coronavirus pandemic has been especially concerning, as we are all aware. Luckily my wife, family and I have stayed well. I wish the same for you. Birding has been a great activity to remain sane through it all, especially locally, alone or in small masked groups of friends...though I miss traveling to exotic birding destinations.
Birding my home town of Stratford has resulted in numerous rare bird finds, including:
- Pacific Golden-Plover, Sikorsky Airport (*first CT record), Oct 29-31- Hudsonian Godwit, Sikorsky Airport, Oct 29-31- Snowy Owl, Sikorsky Airport, Nov 14- Long-tailed Jaeger, Stratford Point, Aug 25- Sooty Tern, Sniffens Lane, Aug 4- Western Tanager, home feeders, Apr 16-20- Blue Grosbeak, home feeders, Apr 30- "Thayer's" Iceland Gull, Long Beach, Feb 28-29- Least Bittern, McKinney NWR, May 22- Connecticut Warbler, Stratford Point, Sept 19- Yellow-breasted Chat, Stratford Point, Oct 2
It's a pretty amazing list of rarities within about 5 miles of home. So, despite the pandemic, there is much to be thankful for! Guess what I'm wishing for for Christmas?

Subject: Re: [CT Birds] Truly impressive Eider numbers eastern Connecticut/Rhode Island |
Echoing Dave and Phil's observation, I was photographing sea ducks by boat
for DEEP today and had by far the most Common Eider I've seen in the
central sound. There were ~220 at Falkner's Island off Guilford, and
small numbers were scattered inshore. How times have changed. It took me
seeing four King Eiders in CT before I saw my first Common Eider in the
state, back only ~15-20 years ago.
Regarding King Eider in the Sound, I've always wondered how much Common
Eider and King Eider numbers are actually tied to one another here.
Sometimes it seems like large flocks of Common Eider make it quite
difficult to find a King by giving a place for the Kings to hide, rather
than increasing the chances just because more eider are around. Don't know.
Either way, late November is prime time for King Eider in CT, with or
without Commons being around. I've always thought of Thanksgiving weekend
as possibly the best time of the year for that species.

Phil Rusch and I birded Stonington Point area today. The numbers of Common
Eiders in Little Narragansett Bay, Eastern Long Island Sound in the area
between Napatree Point, Stonington Point, Fisher's Island, and Enders
Island, were truly impressive. While there were also good numbers of

The real show where the Common Eiders. Large flocks moving about as well as

Hi everyone,
If you're wondering where to spend some time birding today, to work off yesterday's meal, and would like to find somewhere new to help advance the winter atlas project, I just finished a new blog post on how to find under-birded blocks:

Now, I'm off to follow my own advice ....

Subject: [CT Birds] Birding the four corners |
While doing my best to contribute to the Connecticut Birding Atlas over the past few years, one of my biggest frustrations has been block boundaries. Going out to atlas without checking block maps first can lead to one having to do some mental gymnastics with lists when entering data later. This usually happens when coming across a good place by accident or birding a tried and true area without thought. A few times I have completed a one hour winter survey, only to find out later that I crossed a boundary and did not.
Today I was prepared to bird the intersection of four blocks within a farm field (very close to a four way road intersection in the middle of a farm complex). I was happy to find a male American Kestrel perched on a heavily leaning cornstalk that survived the silage cutting. I kept a close eye on him but shifted to the next block to start a one hour survey. Minutes later the kestrel flew through the block I was in and into a third block before disappearing. A twist here or there and it could have been one kestrel, four blocks.

The drake Harlequin that Julian Hough found at Brazos Road earlier today
was briefly seen again around 2.50 pm. We searched for it for about 30
minutes, many of which were spent trying to identify distant ducks in a
wavy sea. When we finally saw it, the duck made a fairly close flyby
seemingly out of nowhere, eventually flying out to sea. This is to say
that I wouldn't be surprised if it continued there or in the general area.
Also, a juvenile Glaucous Gull came in to roost on the close rock (the
one that becomes an island at high tide).

The post I made earlier about the birds seen at Hammonasset made mention of a precise location where the birds were seen. The location can be found on the excellent map of Hammo that was prepared by Micky Komara and is now available through a link on the COA website. This will be a very handy reference for anyone trying to report on or find a bird seen at this park. Thank you, Micky!
The sighting by Julian H of the drake Harlequin Duck in East Haven is interesting. It may very well be the same individual that was seen at Milford Point (and then inland at Aspetuck Reservoir) this past spring. That bird was keeping close company with a female Common Goldeneye and may have been a mated pair. Julian mentioned that he saw the bird with female Common Goldeneyes. Further observers of this bird would do well to watch its interactions with the birds it is seen with. There is the remote possibility that a hybrid offspring could be seen with them. Birding is endlessly interesting!

Subject: [CT Birds] Fairfield Winter Finch movements - crossbills, redpolls, and more |
This weekend (and past week in general) has been quite good for winter
finches moving through Fairfield.
I've had several multiple-hour dedicated finch / hawk watches from the
first big meadow at Hoyden's Hill Open Space over the course of this past
week, and here are some of the highlights:
Red Crossbills - numerous flyovers, some single birds, some small groups,
on 11/14, 11/21, and this morning 11/22 (also flyovers at Lake Mohegan
11/18 and Larsen Sanctuary 11/20)
White-winged Crossbill - a single flyover bird seen and heard well this
morning at Hoyden's Hill
Common Redpoll - several single birds or small groups at Hoyden's yesterday
(11/21) and this morning (11/22)
Plus numerous Pine Siskins, Purple Finches, a single Horned Lark, and many
migrating raptors (Black and Turkey Vultures, Red-tailed, Red-shouldered,
Cooper's, Sharp-shinned, Bald Eagle).
Ironically, the winter finch I've primarily been doing these watches for
(Evening Grosbeak) has thus far remained elusive. Overall, some really
great mornings spent here and I highly encourage others to get out to their
local spots and listen!

At Fort Monument Park in Old Saybrook, we observed a LAPLAND LONGSPUR in the Snow Bunting flock there, along with several White-winged Scoter among the Surf Scoter in the river. At Hammonasset SP in Madison, we saw three RED CROSSBILLS in the pines just south of the Chase Channel Culvert near Cedar Knoll in the campgrounds. Also at those pines were FOS Fox Sparrow and a Brown Creeper. There was one Great Egret at the edge of the swan pond and a LAPLAND LONGSPUR in the flock of Horned Larks in the field south of the swan pond. Full reports on eBird.

Subject: Re: [CT Birds] Fewer Finches Anyone? |
Same in Clinton. The flock of about 50 siskins dropped on warmer days. It
was down to a few lately but 0 so far today. The goldfinch flock that was
down to at most 4 when the siskins were monopolizing the feeder has grown
to more than 10 most days. I do think they know when you've bought more
niger and are now off in the trees laughing, "ha, now they've got 8 pounds
going rancid" ;)
Another observation, I've seen the sapsucker in the holly bush a couple of
times and apparently attempting to pluck winterberries, but the branches
are too spindly to land on making it difficult.

Several people got to see this bird, first noticed as a "late American Golden Plover", by hard-working local birder Frank Mantlik.
Its tricky identification was figured out by a few knowledgeable birders and news was put out quickly, not always the case with stealth species that are hard to identify, and enabled many people to connect the same afternoon.
It was apparent that many people were not aware of what features to look for, so I hope the following post contains info and captions that may help inform those people that may be curious why this was different from American Golden.

It took two hours to relocate, but the shrike continues. It was teed up in some tall trees on the east side of a corn field on the opposite side of the railroad tracks, near a yellow bucket in the field. It has been seen in this general area sporadically. This is on the south side of the farm.
The bird was in view for a few minutes and was being harassed by chickadees then flew off. It could be in any suitable location in this wide open area but has been seen more often than not near the bucket.

Subject: [CT Birds] The State of the Finch in CT |
Hi all,
I hope everyone is enjoying the best finch flight we have seen since
2012-13. It has been fun to watch this progress since the irruptives began
with Red-breasted Nuthatches in the late summer.
I've been getting some questions about finches recently, so figured I
should post something to the group. Here's a brief summary and possibly
what to expect going forward, based on flight years of the recent past.
It is obvious that many species, such as Purple Finch and Pine Siskin, have
been moving through in large numbers. How many birds remain for the winter
entirely depends on food availability here in CT. In the past, we have seen
some massive movements of these species in autumn only to see them scarce
and local during the winter itself. It is possible that may happen again
this winter. Time will tell.
Red-breasted Nuthatch - Their southward movement should be mostly complete,
and birds have settled into places with food where they are likely to
remain for the winter as long as food supplies last.
Purple Finch - Second in chronological order, PUFIs are past their peak
migration but continue to trickle through in small numbers. It seems that
most have blown through CT on their way to points further south.
Pine Siskin - Much like Purple Finches, Siskins have passed their peak push
through CT. If little natural food is available, expect few to stay the
winter, in which case they would be most likely found at feeding stations.
House Finch - These have been moving steadily through the autumn and
continue to do so.
American Goldfinch - They really seem to have increased in migration
intensity over the past couple weeks, and are currently by far the most
numerous finch being tallied at coastal watch sites.
Evening Grosbeak - Eastern populations of this charismatic finch are likely
on the rise thanks to a spruce budworm outbreak in the boreal forest. This
is indeed a flight year for this species, and they have been moving through
CT for a few weeks now. This movement is likely to tail off soon, meaning
fewer coastal flybys. Hopefully there is enough natural food to keep a few
flocks through the winter, likely at inland locations.
Red Crossbill - RECRs are everywhere right now, both inland and coastal, in
small to moderate numbers. We are likely somewhere near the peak of their
push. Not many seem to be stopping. They are often heard and seen while
actively migrating (learning the flight call is nearly essential to
detecting them right now). Coastal towns probably have the highest volume
moving through right now because of the coast's ability to concentrate
migrants that prefer not to cross large bodies of water (the same reason
why the coast concentrates landbird migrants in general).
To find them "on the deck," check any conifers that currently have cones.
For large finches, they can be quite good at rather silently feeding, but
are very vocal when they take flight. I tend to find them most often in
Japanese black pines or pitch pines, but they can hit any conifer with
food. We usually have some overwintering crossbills during flight years;
again, they will focus on the food. So keep an eye on those cones. When
they winter here, it can be in any part of the state, inland or coastal.
If anyone gets recordings of Red Crossbills in CT and wants them assigned
to "call type," feel free to email me clips and I will do my best to help
with the analysis.
White-winged Crossbill - Unlike in autumn 2012, WWCR has not yet been a
major component of the flight as of mid-November, though they have been
scattered in small numbers in northern Massachusetts. We have had a handful
reported. Time will tell if they increase as the season progresses.
Common Redpoll - Redpolls are making a strong early push into CT. They are
scattered in small numbers. Their numbers should increase through the
winter, when they move from natural food sources to backyard feeders as
well (from which they have been essentially absent so far). In past
invasions, their numbers have peaked in mid-late winter, and in the
northern part of the state. The best is likely yet to come.
Hoary Redpoll - None reported in the area yet, but they are likely coming.
They have been seen well to our north and west near the Canadian border.
When this rare species occurs in Connecticut, it is usually a true winter
bird, almost always seen in flocks of Common Redpolls, and usually in the
north.
Pine Grosbeak - The fact that a few have already appeared bodes well for a
good showing through the winter. The last time they appeared in CT as early
as mid-Nov was 2007, when they eventually settled at ornamental crab apples
in a few locations for several weeks. Their numbers should only increase
over the next several weeks/months. Invasions of this species seem to be
getting less and less frequent at our latitude, so enjoy them this winter!
They usually stick to northern CT, though past invasions (think 1970s)
brought them to the coast.
Bohemian Waxwing - None yet. Like Pine Grosbeaks and many of the true
northern finches listed above, this species is making a strong early push
into their usual wintering range, which could be promising for an
appearance in CT at some point. BOWAs routinely reach northern
Massachusetts during flight years, but only rarely do they cross the border
into CT. While we could see one at any time, late winter (Feb-Mar) tends to
be when they max out their southern movement. They simply eat their way
south through the winter, devouring fruit such as ornamental crab apples as
they creep their way southward town-by-town. Let's hope some bust through
the imaginary MA/CT barrier and hang out in CT for a while. Another
northern species that is most likely to appear in northern CT.
Black-capped Chickadee - A note about chickadees, which tend to be missed
when they are migrating due to their general commonness. This autumn saw a
strong push of obviously migrating flocks of BCCH. I have personally noted
what appears to be a decrease in the active chickadee migration, at least
coastally, over the last couple weeks. I just haven't seen the flocks
moving that I was seeing in October. Maybe this is reflective of what is
actually happening, maybe it is not.
Boreal Chickadee - A mega rare bird in CT (no records so far this century),
it is worth addressing because we are due for one and because they have
been moving south of their range this month, including two reports from
northern Massachusetts. While there isn't much of a pattern to modern
regional records, they are probably most likely to be seen with migrant
Black-capped flocks at this time of year in any habitat, but presumably
would stick to conifers when not actively migrating. One might be more
prone to patronizing a bird feeder as the winter progresses.

Silver Sands - Milford - 1 Common Redpoll. 1 Late Gnatcatcher. I have had
likely the same Gnatcatcher off and on since late October. If you follow
the gated paved road that runs parallel to the chain linked fence the road
will eventually end at a T at the West end of the park. The bird is about
30 yards back from the T.

Subject: [CT Birds] Pine Swamp Preserve - Ledyard |
Wanted to recommend a great local patch...Pine Swamp Preserve in Ledyard. This preserve is part of Avalonia Land Conservancy, and it provides a good range of habitat, including a pond, mixed-growth forest, and about two miles of a wide power line cut. I saw 27 species there this morning, including at least 3 Bald Eagles, a late Common Yellowthroat, Gray Catbird (getting late for them), Belted Kingfisher, Cedar Waxwings, and others. Doubtless, the power line cut is home to classic species such as Indigo Bunting and Blue-winged Warbler during breeding season. Probably a good place to look for Golden-winged Warbler as well during the right time of year. Regardless, it’s the type of place that has a good variety of birds year-round. The best way to access the power line cut is to park at the trailhead across from Stone Ct. in Ledyard.

Subject: [CT Birds] OT on honey bees |
The last couple of days here in Orange, it has been fairly mild 45F-57F. I
have noticed that there are honey bees feeding/crawling around in some of
my bird feeders. Granted- a couple of them didn't look very active, but
others seem to be foraging in the bird seed.
Apparently honey bees will be eating pollen size, dust particles that are
shed from bird seed, cracked corn etc.

Subject: [CT Birds] Red Crossbill |
I was very excited to see a Red Crossbill this afternoon on the Canton side of Nepaug Reservoir.
I first heard the call and then saw the bird fly into a pine tree next to the reservoir. It was feeding on the pine cones and difficult to see at first. I started playing the type 10 call on my Merlin app and it seemed to pay attention to this as it promptly moved to an open branch of the tree where I was able to get some photos of it. It appears it was a male.
It was generally a very bird day there today with the warm weather and there were lots of red breasted nuthatches around, ruddy ducks, common and hooded mergansers, a horned bill grebe and pileated woodpecker among others.

Subject: [CT Birds] 5 female common eiders |
Today from 1pm - 3:30 off the south easterly path at Stratford Point 5 female common eiders were preening and fishing very successfully I might ad. Several hauled out onto rocks presenting very nicely for photo ops. What was neat but I'm sure an annoyance for the ducks was one very persistent gull. Everytime the duck caught a crab the gull was right there to steal it away. This must have occurred at least 10 times. Just surprised the ducks didn't fly off. They pretty much stayed in the same general area with the tide eventually reaching high tide. Also one possibly two red throated loons and three female merganzers passing by. Other than this fairly slow action wise. FYI Paul F. I checked after my appointment and no signs of the duo over an hour and 1/4.

Subject: [CT Birds] atlas updates and roosts |
We've had a couple of questions about the timing of updates on the atlas web site's interactive map. As in the summer, our goal is to update the numbers and species lists approximately weekly, with a goal of trying to do it on a Thurs/Fri so that the numbers are fresh prior to each weekend. A caveat is that, unlike the summer, Morgan and I are now both back to teaching etc., and spend much of our work days in meetings, so we're often dealing with atlas data in the evenings and on weekends - so there may be some weeks when we simply can't make it happen (or where our zoom-weary eyes just give up on us and we decide we can't stand to stare at a screen any longer!).
We did do an update on Monday (if you don't see it, then be sure to refresh your browser - that solves >95% of the problems we hear about). And I'm hoping to do another in the next 48 hours as we just solved a technical problem that was preventing us from bringing one of the batches of missing 2019 data into the posted stats - for the small number of people who don't see your data reflected in the species lists, the other problem we've been dealing with is also almost fixed.
Also, since there has been some discussion of vulture roosts this week, I'll remind everyone that we have a special atlas protocol specifically designed to help us map roost sites for species like vultures, robins, blackbirds, crows, gulls, etc. etc. The direct link to the protocol is here: http://www.ctbirdatlas.org/Surveys_winter_roosts.htm.
As always, thanks for your data (and your patience),Chris

1 Nashville Warbler
1 Yellow Warbler
2 Palm Warblers

The Golden Eagle that was seen earlier at Lighthouse Point slowly worked
its way north up the harbor's edge, and was last seen very high over East
Shore Park streaming northward, seeming hesitant to cross the harbor itself.
Earlier, non-raptor highlights at Lighthouse Point included 1 CAVE SWALLOW,

know you can open any field guide, look at the range map, and find out
where our birds come from and where they go, but it is always fun to
actually find out where a particular bird has been.

Subject: [CT Birds] REMINDER eBird outage |
The below message explains that eBird will be unavailable tomorrow through
Thursday, Nov 17-19. Greg Hanisek
Dear eBird Regional Editors,
As you are likely aware, eBird's long-term database migration from Oracle
to Postgres will be coming to an end on November 17-19. This means that all
of eBird will be down on those days - including the review tools, as well
as the Macaulay Library, Birds of the World - everything. More information
is here: https://ebird.org/news/database-update-november-17-19-maintenance
While we will have a notification system in eBird Mobile to warn users
about this, we can't reach everyone. Please feel free to distribute this
information to your local birding listservs, Whatsapp groups, or other
channels, including the link to the homepage article above.
Thanks for your help, and I sincerely hope everyone will be able to enjoy
birding in an eBirdless world for a few days!
Best,
John Garrett

Went up at lunch, had a nice walk of about 2 miles on Chattleton Road, just off of Canaan Mountain Road in the Great Mountain Forest, but other than one Pine Grosbeak, four juncos, a few blue jays and 2 White breasted NH it was very quiet. I saw the Grosbeak maybe not quite a 1/2 mile in along Chattleton Road from the west entrance which is the Canaan Mountain road side (which is blocked off and you have to walk it). Nothing on the lake either. But a lovely walk.

Subject: [CT Birds] NW CT, yes it's Eden (pretty long) |
To add to Will's and Peter’s posts of scouting the northwest corner of CT now, on Wednesday my wife and I traveled around Falls Village to Norfolk before the steadier rain came in around 2:30. We started the morning on top of Mohawk Mountain then into the magical Black Spruce Bog (2 Golden-crowned Kinglet - in the hemlocks of course). We had our largest Black-capped Chickadee group here with 6 individuals but saw many many groups of 2 or 3 BCCH throughout the day. Continued to Under Mountain Rd then Canaan Mountain Rd to Wangum Rd (3 Raven), some of this borders Great Mountain Forest. Checked the crab apple trees in Norfolk with the ones by the green still holding much fruit and the one by the firehouse appeared almost stripped bare (E. Bluebird pair behind Infinity Hall). Final real stop was Benedict Pond (Pileated). Drove North Goshen Rd home but raining pretty good by then. Our day was actually very quiet and the almost constant light drizzle likely kept many birds hunkered down. Best Boreal species were just a couple Red-breasted Nuthatch, 1 on Canaan Mt and the 2nd at Benedict. Being a dreamer, I played Boreal Chickadee at virtually every sizable conifer plot, especially spruce stands (been doing this up in the NW hills every Nov for many years now) and played Gray (Canada) Jay at many different locations and even Black-backed Woodpecker at a few swamp snag forests. I know I’m really dreaming with these last two, but if you don’t try to find them, your’e never going to know they aren’t there. I’ve found it interesting that some BCCH come to the Boreal call as if they were fireman headed to a blaze while others keep a distance and don’t seem that interested, hormones? local birds as opposed to birds on the move? prior exposure? recent predator interaction?. Most conifers and birch had minimal mast, except gray birch which were few and far between. The spruce however in the Bog were loaded with cones and we were amazed to not find any birds in those tree tops. We did witness a large A. Robin movement with 167 over Black Spruce Bog, 199 on Under Mountain with groups of 10 to 30 at many other locations. Even a day in the rain in the northwest hills of CT is better than most other things I can think of spending my time doing. Jackie and I plan to hit Bear Mountain tomorrow and walk to the huge stone cairn. I know I get one bar on my cell there just in case a dream comes true.

Hi all,
For those planning on heading to Canaan to follow up on Will's report,
this is the exact location: https://bit.ly/36zmVup
Here's a photo of the pitch pine plot from a few years ago, right
about where that Google Maps pin is: http://flic.kr/p/U1k9Ad
Park along Canaan Mountain Road and walk in using Chattleton Road.
Great Mountain Forest contains the largest spruce forest in
Connecticut. Most of it consists of planted nonnatives but there is
native red and black spruce around some of the ponds. A good spot for
a Boreal Chickadee to show up. There's also some red pine on the west
side of Canaan Mountain Rd that could be good.
And for anyone traveling through Winsted or Norfolk, remember to check
ornamental crabapples in the downtown areas. You could get lucky with
a Pine Grosbeak or Bohemian Waxwing.

Subject: [CT Birds] Northern Madness II, WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL + |
Salisbury and Canaan — the same 3 young birders (myself, Nic Main, and
Preston Lust) as went to Riga last weekend made our way up to the northwest
corner again to see what could be found. It was Northern Madness the
Sequel!! Mt Riga was very quiet, with only one goldfinch and one finch that
we initially tentatively identified as Pine Grosbeak, but seems, with what
happened later, more likely to be White-winged Crossbill.
After extensive scouting online and discussion (thanks, Peter DeGennaro!)
we decided to hit Great Mountain Forest along Canaan Mountain Rd as our
next spot. In the spruces behind the field behind the administrative office
came a flock of 5 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS, the first in the state this year
and a lifer for me! These birds called a lot and perched briefly, giving
Nic the chance to take some great pics which will be on eBird tonight.
There was also one RED CROSSBILL in the very same area which afforded great
views in the scope and recordings. Also a small flyover flock of EVENING
GROSBEAKS, many (~6) AMERICAN TREE SPARROWS, but otherwise was quiet.
My exhortation from my last email is carried over even more strongly. The
Northwest is an Eden!

It sounds like there’s at least some chance of red crossbills anywhere with a lot of conifers, especially across the northern tier of the state, but to add to the list I had some while atlasing at Bigelow Hollow this morning. Both west of the boat launch and flyovers farther south in the park. It may have been multiple flocks, but could also have been the same small group moving around. No decent looks, just heard them overhead and brief glimpses in flight.

Subject: [CT Birds] Migration for the next few days |
A head's up for folks out in the next few days. While the weather has been overcast and rainy, it will have blocked major migration in CT, but the northerly component to the weather will have likely loaded the hopper for decent raptor movement at Lighthouse Point tomorrow, along with an expected diurnal movement of continuing finches such as Evening Grosbeaks and Common Redpolls. Crossbills also are likely to be moving with these birds, so worth learning the flight calls to detect them in diurnal migration.
The season is getting late, but this is the prime time for Golden Eagles and Goshawk at Lighthouse Point, as well as Rough-legged Hawks which seem to be moving in good numbers in the mid-west. There have been a few already in CT, but as the season gets later, more should be seen, although it doesn't appear to be shaping up to be an "invasion" year" locally. Snowy Owls too usually show up now, as young males push further south from the tundra and are perhaps heralds of a good winter or just vanguards of a typical breeding season dispersal.
Two species to be particularly on the look out for from tomorrow through early next week: Franklin's Gull and Cave Swallow.
The northerly frontal systems that will likely make birding productive tomorrow and Tuesday have the potential to move these birds that have likely been displaced from the south-west. Five years ago, a similar pattern resulted in large numbers of Franklin's Gull being displaced to the Tri-state area. With large numbers already in the hopper now in the Great Lakes area, it stands to reason that several may be found in the north-east after the passage of any frontal weather systems. They often move through quickly when they arrive, so getting out early and checking local beaches, especially any flocks of Laughing Gulls. Now is a good time, to pop open the fieldguide and familiarize yourself with the main identification points separating them from Laughing Gulls. Forewarned is forearmed.
For more information on the last Franklin's Gull event in 2015:
https://naturescapeimages.wordpress.com/2015/11/21/franklins-fall-out-november-2015/
Cave Swallows follow the same route and thus are also likely to be found along coastal CT in the next week.
This is prime rarity season so if you see a Great crested Flycatcher now, it probably isn't one. Any hummingbirds or small Empidonax flycatchers are likely western strays now, so be alert and good birding and remember to report all your good stuff as soon as possible.
Good birding!

Killingworth 11/13 9:00 AM Red-header Woodpecker
A great new yard bird for us: Following is the account from our eBird entry: I looked out the window to see what birds might be around and immediately recognized a Red-headed Woodpecker on the side of a large oak tree about 35 feet away. It was at eye-level in full view with its back toward us. It had a solid red head, black upper back and white lower back. I alerted Maryanne who watched it with a binocular while I went to the next room to get my camera. As I raised the camera the bird dropped down behind a stone wall. Moments later it flew off east to another tree and then another one and flew further without being relocated. I estimate the time the bird was well seen in the original location as a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of about a minute.

as the Macaulay Library, Birds of the World - everything. More information
is here: https://ebird.org/news/database-update-november-17-19-maintenance
While we will have a notification system in eBird Mobile to warn users

Subject: [CT Birds] Mt Riga weekend: double-digit RED CROSSBILL+ C. REDPOLL, grouse, + |
Salisbury, Sunday -- myself, Nicolas Main, and Preston Lust headed up to
one of the highest and northwesternmost birding spots in Connecticut, Mount
Riga in Salisbury, to search for northern specialties, as this winter is
proving to be one of the best in decades for finches and other irruptive
birds. We were amazed at what we found!
Finches were indeed extremely abundant. PINE SISKINS were the most numerous
species, with a few flocks numbering over 30. Over 100 were observed in the
course of the day. Many (15+) COMMON REDPOLLS were interspersed in these
flocks; one stand of birches along Mt Washington Rd was especially
productive, and flyovers were relatively frequent.
However, the clear finch highlight must have been the double-digit numbers
(~18) of RED CROSSBILLS we encountered on the mountain. Our first finch of
the day was a flyover flock 7 at South Pond; one other large flock
followed, with scattered small numbers later. We were not able to see any
of these birds perched (there are few large pine stands that we could see),
but they afforded great flight views.
The non-finch highlight was a euphoric experience with a RUFFED GROUSE, a
rarely seen northern specialty, feeding in the road in front of the car.
Other notables included a very small number of EVENING GROSBEAKS, high
numbers of FOX SPARROW, and one RUSTY BLACKBIRD flyover. There was a
possible encounter with flyover White-winged Crossbill that sadly went
unresolved.
I really must personally urge birders to get out to the northern (and
especially northwestern) parts of the state, which are
desperately underbirded, but during this winter, are sure to hold many
truly exceptional experiences, beyond our own extravaganza. Reports of Pine
Grosbeaks are starting to trickle in, and Bohemian Waxwing and White-winged
Crossbill are already in Massachusetts. Mount Riga, much of the Appalachian
Trail, Canaan Mountain (Great Mountain State Forest), Haystack Mountain,
Aton Forest, around Colebrook River Lake, and Mohawk Mountain are all
exceptional high-elevation northwestern spots that have low coverage. Who
wouldn't want to get the glory of finding a cooperative flock of
White-winged Crossbills eating grit along a pine forest road, or an apple
tree covered in Pine Grosbeaks? Or.... and with these birds present as
rarities in MA, it's not all pipedream fantasy... a Boreal Chickadee? First
state record Canada Jay? Fellow CT birders: go north! There are birds!

I went Sunday. Was probably there for 2 hours. All of the 10 people that were there when I was were Uber respectful. Photographers and birders alike. Stayed on the dirt road. Nothings growing in the fields but... the grassy area where the bird was hunting I did see some sitting on the outskirts. Nothing damaging. No one in the way. Those trails are listed on the Alltrails app and it loops around on state property. A lot of the neighbors were walking that loop. Maybe someone was just having a grumpy farmer day... it’s winter there wasn’t even potato’s out there to traipse on.

Let us hope there is nothing untoward, but I do have a question.
Might this bird migrate south here and be able to survive the winter? Or would it be more likely to get stuck and perish in the cold? Do we have data on birds migrating far out of their normal range?

Subject: [CT Birds] Recent Evening Grosbeaks |
Evening Grosbeaks continue to be on the move. Saturday morning I had a
single female fly over my yard, 4 going over Lake Mohegan in Fairfield
yesterday, 4 (2m, 2f) going over my yard this morning, and a single bird
calling over a private area in Monroe.
It is my hope that as the weather gets colder flocks will settle, rather
than fly over or visit feeders for a couple of minutes. It has been a fun
fall!
Redpolls and crossbills are beginning to show up in numbers, and areas N
have Bohemian Waxwing, Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, and Pine Grosbeak.
Female Eurasian Wigeon is still present at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Fairfield,
which has become a notable waterfowl spot in the past few winters.

Subject: [CT Birds] 9 Nov - Branford Supply Ponds Winter Wrens and Pied-billed Grebes |
Three different Winter Wrens were singing this morning at Branford
Supply Ponds all from along the Orange trail that leads off the big
parking lot. The first one I heard from across the upper pond. It was
in the vicinity of Noble's bench and the sound carried beautifully over
the water. When I came around on the trail, there was another one along
the stream that feeds into the upper pond and then also one near the big
parking lot.
The Supply Pond trails are now open after sustaining severe damage from
the August tropical storm (many trees snapped at mid-height and fallen
trees everywhere). Kudos to the people that worked so hard to open the
trails up. The granite bench honoring Noble Proctor was destroyed as
well. I believe there is an effort underway to restore it.
Also two Pied-billed Grebes in the upper pond.

Subject: Re: [CT Birds] Best Plants for Birds |
What a great conversation! I agree, you have a terrific line-up of native plants. I've got birds all over my Bayberry and Winterberry at the moment. In the Spring, the berries from the Shadblow (Serviceberry) didn't last 3 days.
I'd add Asters to your list. I had some White Wood Asters pop up after we pulled ivy, and the birds and bees are loving them. I've been watching chickadees do somersaults to get their seeds.
Seconding folks' recommendations--I can testify to the appeal and hardiness of Elderberry and Chokeberry as well.
I've moved here recently and am also planting for birds and insects. I learned a lot from reading Doug Tallamy's books, "Bringing Nature Home," "Nature's Best Hope," and "The Living Landscape." I thought I knew a lot about planting for birds, but the way he draws connections from caterpillars to birds was revelatory.
I also frequent Earthtones Nursery and use their online plant finder-- all regionally indigenous plants, and they're catalogued in terms of their habitat value.
Very best,
Kimberly

Hi Rob,
I would also think about small trees that provide larval food for Lepidoptera- caterpillars as that is chiefly what birds are feeding their young. The top trees include oaks, birches and cherries. As far as small trees, scrub oak Quercus ilicifolia, River Birch Betula nigra, Choke Cherry Prunus virginiana and Pin Cherry Prunus pennsylvanica are all good. Check out Audubon?s Plants for Birds or National Native Plant Finder.
Best,
Jim

Subject: [CT Birds] winter atlas |
Hi everyone,
I just posted a new blog post on our general priorities for winter atlas data collection:http://ctbirdatlas.org/blog/index.php/2020/11/08/1261/
One key point I'll reiterate is that there are lots of interesting birds to be found in places where few people go birding. Just this weekend I've found common redpolls in 3 blocks and evening grosbeaks in 2 (plus another last Sunday). I've also seen 5 species of warblers while atlasing this week, including 2 late Tennessees at a quick stop in Mansfield this afternoon.
In each case, I was just checking out likely looking habitat that I happened to drive by, rather than going to well known sites ... so there's lots to be found.

Subject: [CT Birds] evergreen trees |
Re: Zellene's comment about planting evergreens, another great thing to do is to get Christmas trees either after Christmas that are slated for discarding or even pre-Christmas for the funny looking ones that no one wants to sell and place them around the yard for shelter. I get 6-7 every year and tie them to trees in my backyard near my feeders so the birds have a place to shelter away from predators. They'll last a year until the next batch, though of course they start to drop needles.

Subject: [CT Birds] plants for birds |
I have both bird and pollinator gardens. You have a nice choice of plants, but I would recommend planting more evergreens as shelter for birds and wildlife. I have yews that came with the house. The yews have berries in fall as well. The birds often use them after grabbing a seed from my feeder. I also have hemlocks but unless you want to let them become trees, I wouldn't recommend them as shrubs. I don't know why folks plant hemlocks as foundation plantings when they are meant to be trees! And don't forget a water source, even in winter. You can find heated birdbaths.
Pollinator plants attract insects which attract birds. I recommend reading Doug Tallamy's book, Bringing Nature Home, for a comprehensive study of what to plant and why. He also has a new book, Nature's Best Hope. Both are really excellent.

Don’t forget lobelia cardinalis. While it is perennial it has trouble with our winters. Grow it like an annual, letting seed fall in autumn and you will get flowering plants next year.

Probable correction on my earlier post about Turkey Vulture on rocks off Town Beach.A couple of hours later a pair of imBald Eagles were spotted in a tree in the marsh across from beach.In the early morning light (and distant looks) I was getting hints of red off the head of what was most likely an eagle not a TV. Would be much more probable.

Subject: Re: [CT Birds] Best Plants for Birds |
Hi Rob,
I would also think about small trees that provide larval food for Lepidoptera- caterpillars as that is chiefly what birds are feeding their young. The top trees include oaks, birches and cherries. As far as small trees, scrub oak Quercus ilicifolia, River Birch Betula nigra, Choke Cherry Prunus virginiana and Pin Cherry Prunus pennsylvanica are all good. Check out Audubon’s Plants for Birds or National Native Plant Finder.
Best,
Jim

Red Breasted Nuthatch at my feeder this morning. First ever in my yard.
This makes 4 firsts (so far!) in my yard this Fall, including:
- Purple Finch and Pine Siskin (first ever seen)
- Great Horned Owl (heard two calling in the middle of the night)
Fingers crossed for more firsts to come!

Hi Rob,
I am landscaping our property for birds and I would highly recommend black
elderberry (*Sambucus **canadensis*). Many birds, including Eastern
Bluebirds, eat the berries, and provide wonderful photo opportunities.

Rob,
Here’s my choice, for each:
Annual- Salvia “Amistad”, profuse bloomer and even better for hummingbirds (IMO as I used to have both); bees LOVE it
Perennial- Monarda (bee balm) “Jacob Cline”
Shrub/Small Tree- you’ve got a great collection.

Many Robins, Blackbirds, and other species flew westward as well, including
almost 600 Cedar Waxwings. Of note was a yellow-bellied Kingbird flying

Hi, Rob!
You have a great selection already! I'd add native honeysuckle, to
attract hummingbirds. They also love the annual black-and-blue salvia.
And sunflowers for finches. All three attract bees as well.
I know you said just one, but that's an impossible ask! I'll stop at

Hello all,
If you could only plant one plant (annual, perennial, shrub or small
tree)
to attract birds what would it be?
Much of my landscaping is for that purpose and therefore I've got
bayberry,
dogwoods, hawthorne, shadbush, crabapples, echinacea, winterberry among
others but I'm curious what locals think I should add or add more of.

Big movement of goldfinches and Siskins along Long Beach out to Pleasure Beach. At least 2 male Common Redpolls were mixed in. They are quite skittish with several harriers and a Merlin hunting the dunes, but they are occasionally setting down in areas with cover and goldenrod seeds.
Also 2 Fox Sparrows, American Tree Sparrow, several American Pipits on the ground and at least 5 Lapland Longspurs.
There were at least 8 Longspurs at Milford Point yesterday and a report of a Tennessee Warbler.

Note: When the bird swoops down near or a few feet in front of you, PLEASE heed my advise and give the bird a wide berth to eat it’s prey without being pushed to fly off before it’s finished.

Subject: [CT Birds] Finches moving Waterford |
I birded Harkness Memorial Park this morning. The flood of Pine Siskins
moving continues. Indeed as I drove around Southeastern Connecticut today
with my window down in this ridiculously warm weather the constant sound of
Siskins made it seem as though it was the most numerous bird on the planet!
Siskins were constantly moving through Harkness while I was there, but also
I had four Evening Grosbeak flyover and 5 Common Redpolls briefly feeding
in the weeds in the brush dump. Also in the brush dump were a Vesper
Sparrow and two White-crowned Sparrows. A Dickcissel was heard flying
somewhere nearby but I did not see it on the ground. Birders should be
looking for Common Redpolls in weedy areas especially along beaches or the
edges of weedy fields. Common Eiders are once again in large numbers off
Harkness.

Subject: [CT Birds] Today’s New Haven Bird Club 1st Wednesday Walk |
Westport-Sherwood Island SP-
It was hard to believe that just four days ago we were freezing and bundled up in winter clothes and today we were in need of sunscreen and shedding our jackets due to it being too warm!
I was joined by 9 participants on today’s walk which I added so no one had to be turned away. We tallied 63 species with nice diversity. Highlights included the large mixed flock of Pine Siskins and American Goldfinches feeding on the lawn and the continuing large number of Common Loons on Long Island Sound, many very close to shore and very vocal!
Click on the link below to view our eBird checklist with the birds seen and heard today. Thank you to all that attended and I look forward to next week’s First Wednesday Walk on 11/11.

Subject: [CT Birds] Cave Swallow setup |
CTBirders,
Several days of SW-ish winds in November should distribute at least some, possibly many, Cave Swallows northeast of their breeding range (i.e. into the Great Lakes region). That is usually Step 1 of the recipe that brings them to CT. Step 2 is a switch to NW winds that push those birds to the coast.
There is no moderate-strong NW flow forecast for at least several days, but the wind has to flip eventually. If/when it does, we may see good numbers of Cave Swallows here.
Cave Swallows have become regular enough that “classic” conditions are not required for sightings, but a setup like this should increase chances significantly.

Subject: Re: [CT Birds] Unusual kinglet bahavior |
While certainly weather conditions would influence feeding behavior, I observed 8 - 10 ground feeding Golden-crowned Kinglets at the Lighthouse Point Hawk Watch site on 10/26 when conditions were relative mild and not windy. As others have noted, these birds were obviously tired and hungry and unconcerned about close observers. That same day we noticed swarms of what appeared to be a hatch of a small fly species, perhaps the GCKI were capitalizing on that. In any event Cornell’s Birds of the World notes that GCKI “may” feed on the ground and eat mainly arthropods. Some photos of ground feeding GCKIs here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/cswood-photos/e08413 <https://www.flickr.com/gp/cswood-photos/e08413>

This actually isn't all that unusual behavior in cold windy weather. Most
insectivores will move closer to the ground in cold windy conditions
because that's where the food has moved. Many of the Kinglets I've been
seeing lately have been active very close to the ground, often within 1 to
2 ft and in the leaf litter. This is particularly true of Ruby-crowned. In
the past I've seen Blackpoll and Pine Warblers feeding exclusively on the

There may be two explanations for the observation, both having to do with the wind: if the winds were strong during the observation, the birds may have been going low to get out of the wind. They are tiny and weigh only 2/10th of an ounce! The second, more likely explanation is that the strong winds blew their food down to the ground. Great to see them so close!

Jack -- Several years ago I was mowing my lawn/mulching leaves in the fall
and as I rounded a blind corner I practically ran over a Golden-crowned
Kinglet foraging on the ground. Like you, I couldn't believe how close I
got. I shut the machine off and just watched it hop around for a while
before it flew off.

Jack, I was got a great photo of a Golden Crowned Kinglet feeding on the ground at the Jamaica Bay Refuge in New York. So birds that usually feed in trees will sometimes come to the ground.

After going to vote today, I went to Scoville Reservoir in Wolcott for a
hike. Just out of the parking lot I encountered a small flock of about 6
Golden-crowned Kinglets foraging on the gravel pathway. Some of them would
wait until I was about to trip on them before they flew further up the
pathway. Usually I only hear them or have to strain my neck searching for
them way up in the pines there. I have occasionally seen them foraging in
lower branches, but never feeding on the ground. I'm not sure if they were
gravelling, or just feeding on some small insect too microscopic for my
presbiotic eyes to see. I did encounter it again later on my hike with
smaller numbers of kinglets and a group of 5 chickadees as well (but I
wouldn't think it would be unusual for chickadees).

Subject: [CT Birds] Birds and seasons changing |
In the Northeast we can enjoy the seasonal changes so clearly. Today is a
great example of these changing seasons, with decreasing sunlight and this
big windy cold front pushing down through the eastern USA (click below to
see the Nov.2 weather map, and the huge blue cold front line).
https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/national_forecast/natfcst.php
These strong cold winds have an impact on many things, including
birds, insects, mammals (squirrels!), plants, water currents and
temperature, mixing of stratified layers of sea water, increasing oxygen in
the water, plankton and fish. We certainly notice our regular and
accidental bird species migrating and changing over the last several
weeks. A very exciting time of year!
Mother Nature is putting on a magnificent show, and the seasonal changes in
our bird life gives us a direct experience with it!
Take care, as the covid19 virus is increasing again,

I haven’t posted much in the past year, but wanted to report a Short-eared Owl in Somers yesterday along the mass border up on the old Bolton Apple Orchard property, half of which has sadly been turned into Solar Panels. Bird was actually seen just on the Massachusetts side of the border. Flushed from thick grassy area, flew west and dove back down 500 feet away. Awesome bird.

Went out on the deck to look for what might fly over in this wind storm
since the power is out. Lucky me!
Juvenile bird initially relatively low, and seen well in good light. Solid
dark eagle with golden nape, clear white tail band and defined white wing
patches. Ran in to grab camera and got out in time to snap a few pics,
although it had gained massive altitude by then. Will post pics to eBird,
if and when the power comes back on.
Also, a White-winged Scoter on Nepaug Reservoir this morning.

I want to apologize when I have seen owls in the past I put the park name forgetting to hide the owl species on my ebird list. I didn’t disclose the exact location, thinking it was okay that I posted the park location. It was totally my misunderstanding on that one. However, I have never divulged an exact location of a roosting owl or used audio to alert them. I’m always quiet when I’m near them and try and make as little noise and movement when I can.

Subject: [CT Birds] Connecticut Bird Atlas Early Winter is Here |
To all Connecticut birders,
The third year of the early winter period (November/December) for the ongoing Connecticut Bird Atlas got underway today. Please be sure to share your eBird posts or written submissions of bird sightings with the Connecticut Bird Atlas (http://www.ctbirdatlas.org <http://www.ctbirdatlas.org/>).
Bell’s Vireo was seen today at Silver Sands State Park, representing a significant addition to the winter atlas. Silver Sands SP is in Atlas Block 110C Milford, with Steve Spector as the leader/block adopter.
If seen today, reports of the Pacific Golden-Plover at Sikorsky Airport also should be shared with the Atlas. Four different Atlas blocks cover Sikorsky Airport, but the one in which most or all sightings of Pacific Golden-Plover have been made is Block 109F Bridgeport, with Frank Mantlik (most appropriately) the leader/block adopter.
Other lingering migrants, such as Tennessee Warbler, should be shared with the Atlas, particularly during the early days of November. Check the Atlas website for correct block assignments.
Thanks to our 700+ field volunteers for continued support of the Atlas project.

The deadline for 2021 Mini-Grant applications is midnight on January 15th.
These grants in amounts of up to $1,000.00 are available for funding of
projects which *benefit Connecticut's birds.* Successful projects have
been such things as osprey nest platforms and habitat improvements using
native, bird friendly plants. Grants are typically awarded at our COA
annual meeting in March. If we are again unable to gather in person, we
will send the checks after the committee makes its decisions in
mid-February. Full details and applications can be found at

So PLEASE don’t yell or talk loud, or tell everybody you know to come see an owl. It will not end up well for the birds.
Also, please don’t use audio playback on the owls and restrain from using flash as we don’t want to stress the owls more.
Respectfully,

Subject: [CT Birds] Lighthouse Point Park Hawkwatch Saturday |
The hoped-for raptor migration following blocking weather did not
materialize. However, getting such a good long look at our first-of-season
Golden Eagle made it an unforgettable day. We totalled 142 raptors,
including the golden, 11 Bald Eagles, 4 Black vultures, 40 Turkey Vultures,
and a noticeable shift from Accipiters to Buteos with 21 red-tailed Hawks
and 18 Red-shouldered Hawks.
Small bird migration was good with 16,240 Grackles, 925 Red-winged
Blackbirds (including a stand-out leucistic one), 500 American Robins, 300
Eastern Bluebirds, 370 American Crows, 170 Canada Geese, 14 Purple Finch, 2
American Pipits, 4 Eastern Meadowlarks, 30 Pine Siskins, and numerous other
small birds, many of which were very difficult to spot and ID in the
cloudless sky. An eBird checklist S75666796 has the details but is
undoubtedly an undercount.
Monday morning should be exciting with high NW winds and cloud cover
predicted!

The bird has been very weak for quite a number of days. When I would go out to fill the feeders it would be on the ground and only hop away. It was alive first thing this morning not moving very much but occasionally hanging around under the feeders eating whatever fell on the ground. It did fly somewhat but when it returned it apparently didn’t survive the landing. Today I have a record number of 100+ siskins well over the average of 20 to 60 that have been around since the irruption began. This bird has been around for several weeks. Again, if any orgaization would like the bird please email me.

At 5:00 this evening while looking for a previously reported Bonaparte’s Gull at Cove Island Park in Stamford, I found an immature light morph Rough-legged Hawk. The bird was in view for about 5 minutes as it circled over the dam before it was driven East by a Northern Harrier. Full report on eBird with photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S75660967

Subject: [CT Birds] Red-Breasted Nuthatch - Stamford feeder |
R-B Nuthatch showed up and feeding on safflower seeds. First one in many
years since we took down a hemlock tree and lost our R-B Nuthatches and Red
Squirrels. Now waiting for Siskins and Evening Grosbeaks, neither of which
have been seen in many years. Ditto Redpolls. Does this irruption mean a
cold winter?

Certainly the same juvenile Golden Eagle seen by Julian Hough at Ecology Park, Branford, just moments before, and just a couple kilometers to the East.

Subject: [CT Birds] Evening Grosbeak flight |
Greenwich — At least two separate groups of Evening Grosbeaks have passed
over my yard this morning, which lies close to the Greenwich Audubon/Quaker
Ridge hawkwatch. Preston Lust reports one in Westport also. It seems like
lower Fairfield County is finally getting a taste of what the upper reaches
of the state have been enjoying: observers in this region should keep their
ears open and their eyes up!

Subject: [CT Birds] Pine Siskin Specimen |
East Haddam Yard. I have one deceased pine siskin from under the birdfeeders this morning. If any organization would like it please let me know. The bird has been very weak for quite a number of days. When I would go out to fill the feeders it would be on the ground and only hop away. It was alive first thing this morning not moving very much but occasionally hanging around under the feeders eating whatever fell on the ground. It did fly somewhat but when it returned it apparently didn’t survive the landing. Today I have a record number of 100+ siskins well over the average of 20 to 60 that have been around since the irruption began. This bird has been around for several weeks. Again, if any orgaization would like the bird please email me.
