A CLAY-COLORED SPARROW popped up from the scrub on the previously cleared-now overgrown edge of the boat basin at Calvert Vaux Park today around 1 PM. As I tried to track the bird I was distracted by the calls of two WHIMBRELS, flying east up the creek, and disappearing beyond the tree

Yesterday 9-4-09 there was a report of a Northern Wheatear 40 miles east at Hammonsett SP. Could be the same bird heading west along the coast. It might jump the sound and end up on Long Island. Steve Schellenger On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 2:08 PM, Tom Fiore wrote: > from the CT Birds list-serve
