Date: 1 May 2008 9:38pm
Special Note:
Dennis Varza is doing a study on the birding habits of Connecticut
Birders and would really appreciate your help. The more people that
respond the more accurate the result. It doesn't matter wether you
cover 1 town or 100 towns.
1) Make a list of the towns you cover
2) Grade them by how frequently you go birding in each town:
3 frequently
2 regularly
1 occasionally
3) Send the list to Dennis Varza dennisvz(AT)optonline.net

Subject: CT Report 05/08/2008
From: Roy Harvey <rmharvey(AT)snet.net>
Date: 8 May 2008 11:47pm
Hot spots:
New Haven, East Rock Park -- 18 species of warbler
From Graham and Sandy Scott:
5/07 - Clinton, marsh adjacent to Rt 1 -- WHITE IBIS. The bird flew
over the road about 50ft ahead of the car and at about 30ft up. It
was traversing south across Rte 1 in Clinton to the east of Meadow Rd
into the marsh close to Causeway close to the Clinton/Westbrook
border. We had just left a nearby shopping center and were driving at
about 30mph. There is extensive marshland in this area and I would
expect that it might well stay as there should be plenty of small
marine crustaceans etc for it to find. The time was just before 5pm
with the sun behind us.
NOTE: The White Ibis was NOT relocated today, though there were
various attempts by both the Scotts and other birders. However there
is enough inaccessible habitat that the bird could still be around.
