Date: 22 May 2008 10:13pm
Note 1: I will be away and/or busy for a bit and am not sure when the
next daily report will be produced - Saturday, or Sunday, or perhaps
even Monday. If today was any example there could be a LOT happening
so I suggest reading CTBirds to keep up with the latest news.
Note 2: For those not up to the minutes on these things, the Eurasian
Collard-Dove would be the second record for Connecticut, and the Lark
Bunting is scarcely more common as I heard speculation that this would
be the fourth state record.
Note 3: The large grass and gravel parking lot by the Meigs Point
nature center at Hammonasset has cones up in an attempt to prevent
people from entering the area where Killdeer have been nesting. When
looking for the latest Hammonasset rarities please respect this area
do not drive or walk there.

Willard's Island near the outhouse building -- a Eurasian
Collared-Dove was spotted feeding on the lawn at the edge of the
bushes with a Morning Dove at 9:15 AM. It flew to a tree where is was
photographed, and then flew off over the marsh.
From Noble Proctor via The Audubon Shop:
5/22 - Madison, Hammonasset Beach State Park -- 1PM, EURASIAN
COLLARED-DOVE seen on roof of Meig's Point Nature Center bldg, then it
