The COA website will be offline for maintenance beginning at 11p tonight.

The interruption for the vast majority of Internet users will likely be for

10-20 minutes or less. Worst case it could be 4 hours which is why it's

scheduled for when there is reduced activity.



Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This morning there was a Red Breasted Nuthatch in my yard so I decided to visit Spring Park which is only three minutes away. It is a small park surrounded by development and maybe because of this birds seem to be driven there. Although I did not see any rarities there this morning never the less I came up with an interesting list as follows. Red Shouldered Hawk, Pileated Woodpecker, audio Red Breasted Nuthatch, Ruby Crowned Kinglet, Brown Creeper, singing Hermit Thrush and four warbler species including a singing Louisiana Waterthrush among others. Sort of like the Central Park effect but on a smaller scale of course.

On my way home from work (in New Haven) I stopped at the Indian River

Cemetery in Clinton to see if the Glossy Ibis were there and they were not

there. So, I continued heading home home via route 1. As I got close to

the Westbrook "Causeway" I saw a bunch of them flying and so, of course, I

parked my car, ran across the street and was able to take some photos

(there were 26 of them). Definitely, a bright spot on the way home.

It’s Warbler Time!

COA Zoom Workshop

Sunday, April 25, 2021 at 7PM

FREE



Get ready for the waves of warblers that hit Connecticut in May with this

online CT Ornithological Association Warbler Workshop presented by Chris

Wood.

Tips on when and where to look for warblers in Connecticut during Spring

migration, and how to narrow the identification challenges, will be

illustrated and explained.

Chris has birded Connecticut for over 45 years and has photographed 34 of

the 38 warbler species known to have occurred in Connecticut, as well as

several more species in Arizona and Central America. Wood Warblers (family

Parulidae) are one of North American birders’ favorite bird families,

displaying a fascinating variety of plumages, songs, behaviors, and

character.

Join us for this entertaining and informative Workshop and be ready for the

May migration.

Register in advance for this online event here:

https://us02web.zoom.us/webina...



You do not need to be a COA member to participate, but we'd love it if you

were! See the Join Us page at  ctbirding.org

I had nearly 20. Many were singing their distinctive gurgly song. They're

much more "blackbird" like at this time of year, with adult males lacking

the eponymous rusty feathers of their non-breeding dress.

For the past two weeks, a male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker has been drumming in our local neighborhood (it’s very clever of this species to have evolved the variable tapping pattern that distinguishes it so clearly from other woodpeckers).  We haven’t recorded this species in our local atlas block as yet, so I checked to see what the safe dates are for this species.   The safe date range for Yellow-bellied Sapsucker begins on May 20th, so this bird will have to stick around for a while in order to be counted in this block for the atlas.  It may merely be a wintering bird doing some practicing of its territorial drumming before it goes north to its breeding grounds, analogous to the White-throated Sparrows doing their rehearsal singing in our area before they go north to breed.  All of us doing atlas work should pay attention to the safe dates for any species we report, especially if the breeding code is only possible or probable breeder.  More often than not, the species is just passing through or a winter visitor gearing up for the breeding season on its wintering grounds.  The overwintering sea ducks in the sound having been engaged in courtship behavior for months.  If our Sapsucker does stick around to breed in our block, we will happily report it and give further evidence for the southward expansion of the breeding range of this species in CT over the past several decades.

Hi again,



I need a second name, too, for mailing out the Hartford Big January of Birds Challenge certificates.    Since we recently decided to hold our annual meeting virtually, we can't hand out the certificates in person, so off I go to the Post Office.



I'm hoping to get some help from the birding community - I don't have a mailing address for Joseph Wojtanowski or Tom Marsan-Ryan.  Tom or Joseph, are you out there?  or does anyone have a mailing address for them?



Please reply only to me.

You can help save insects and bees that winter over in lawns and gardens by not mowing or cleaning up the garden too soon. Our native bees are mostly solitary and nest underground. Mowing too soon can destroy them. Some chrysalises remain on standing garden stems until it warms enough for them to emerge. Please see the following from the Xerces Society. This organization advocates for invertebrates...there is much great info on the site. The insects you protect today are the bird food of tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,



Hope this finds you well and enjoying this great weather.  Spring certainly is here it would seem.  The Wildlife Division is beginning a large scale project to assess nesting success, nest habitat selection, and brood movement in mallard ducks.  Mallards are very adaptable, much more so than our native puddle duck, the iconic black duck.  Our landscape has changed in the past 30 years with much more development and wetland loss.  At the same time the suite of medium sized mammals has increased. This study will allow us to assess how mallards have adapted to these changes and how their productivity has been affected.  We know that the breeding range of black ducks in our state has shrunk in response to a changing landscape, but mallards seem to be adjusting, but we aren’t really sure.  Breeding mallards across the Northeast have been declining for over 20 years, in our state they are stable.



We are looking for assistance in finding nests.  Mallard nests in many different places, and we are trying to stratify our study to cover all nesting possibilities.  If you have mallards nesting on your property, or find an active nest, please contact the Migratory Bird Program, min.huang@ct.gov.  We will monitor and then capture and telemeter the hen.



Thanks!!

Kevin Doyle here. I'm having trouble posting can you please let the list know that the male osprey at Arthur St. arrived late yesterday per gossip from the local fisherman.  He made multiple trips with sticks, defended several rouge ospreys and sat preening away. Hopefully the female can't be that far behind.

I thought I would share this with the group since so many have become aware of this location due to the warblers that have wintered over!  Adam and I will be there and have done it in the past. We have found it to be a good cause with good people! Note it is hosted by ORCA, Keep Norwalk Beautiful, Cleaner CT Coalition, Skip the Plastic Norwalk, and NRWA. Here is the information:
