I apologize about posting my ebird list on the ctbird list.  I meant to

"share" it with the ct bird atlas for data and hit the wrong link.

For those interested, there are 2 pairs of Northern Pintail Ducks and 2

drake Wood ducks at Crosby Pond in Orange.

At Lake Wepawaug at the American legion post on Grassy Hill Rd., there are

Ring necked ducks along with the hundreds of Canada Geese, Mute swans and

Hoodies.

I looked for it in the late morning and early noon on the 16th without

success.  I did find the razorbill, however.

Hello,



Thanks for writing about this.  I have finches with eye disease in my New Haven yard, as well.



I moved here summer 2019, and I've hardly had a month without finches with eye disease (I live in the East Rock neighborhood) visiting the yard.  A friend on lower State Street also has them.  Regular cleaning, removing feeders, etc., has little to no observable impact on the population's health.  I've gotten the impression that it's widespread in town, and like, you, I'm wondering what my best move is.



I'm interested to hear if there's any community effort that might be of use?



The only upside I've seen is that my local raptors have some easy meals--I found a pile of goldfinch feathers in my yard not long after seeing an American Goldfinch with eye disease.



Best,

Kimberly

Subject: [CT Birds] Continuing Sick House Finches, New Haven

Message-ID:

        

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"



I wrote a couple of weeks ago about House Finches at my feeders showing

signs of finch eye disease. Thank you to everyone who responded with

helpful advice! I ended up taking my feeders down for nearly two weeks to

try to solve the problem. They have been back up for two days and I have

sick finches back already. It appears that a significant number of House

Finches in my area have eye disease. Is anyone else in New Haven seeing

sick finches, either at their feeders or out birding? I'm not really sure

what to do about the problem now, other than giving up on feeding birds to

avoid spreading the disease.

If you don't mind a very short walk, you can park at Sperry Park in Avon and walk in heading left along the rail trail, then turn right down into the area where the bird was seen. Sperry Park is on Rt. 10 north a short distance from from Rt. 44. Turn into driveway at light with Healthtrax sign and bear right into small parking area.

If the usual road gets too muddy or rutted you can probably also see the

two redpolls from the other side, by driving to the small parking area on

the east side of the 80 Avon Meadow Lane building.  There is a very small

grassy field immediately on the east side of those parking spaces, where

the two birds have been seen, often on the ground, sometimes near the lamp

pole.  This is an excellent opportunity to compare these two species.

The Common and Hoary Redpolls were feeding in the grassy area above the parking lot late afternoon (4:00-ish). It was just the two of them and they stayed there for a good while before flying off. According to others, they were in the same area in the morning, left around noon and returned again late afternoon.

Afternoon looks produced nada. Heads up though with the traffic it’s increasingly muddy and deep. Wear the right shoes and perhaps even bring the right car.

Not two species you would see side by side.  They weren’t.



Great Mountain Forest headquarters parking lot ~10am - 11 Pine Grosbeaks.  8 flew in to single spruce next to headquarters office then another 3 moments later.   Fed for about 15 minutes before dropping to smaller spruce trees behind house.



Barkhamsted Reservoir - close from east parking lot at Saville Dam - ~11am - single hen Long-tailed Duck. Seen briefly in good light before heading north.



Also, Barkhamsted yard - finally getting more than the 50+ goldfinches....2 Pine Siskins for a few minutes on deck feeders.

This does not in any way capture the vibrant man I knew who was

instrumental in getting me my first pair of Swarovskis, encouraging me to

bird by ear and getting me involved in bird banding but perhaps it will be

appreciated by those who knew him.



FREDERICK D. SCHROEDER (1934-2021)

CT birders,

The COA website will experience some unexpected downtime beginning sometime today. Unfortunately, we are depending on a third-party to complete a process and we don't know exactly when it will start nor when it will end. Know that we are trying our best to minimize the outage time and that it is necessary. We'll post further updates as we learn them.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Fem Am wigeon, 1 gadwall, and 2 green winged teal, along with common and hooded mergs, Canada geese, mallards, and black ducks, in the Hockanum River Reservoir behind the EH Middle School.



Lots and lots of Canada geese, mallards, and black ducks in the Hockanum River Linear Park pond, and a quick glimpse of what was likely a pintail at the east end, but could not confirm as it moved behind grasses.  Accessible either from Elm Street or behind the City Hall.  Warning: the boardwalk, particularly at Elm Street, is in VERY bad condition, impassable at points.  There is one enormous tree over it on the Elm Street side and is dangerous to get over.  Great caution is recommended if you want to bird there.

Seeing the Glaucous at WHvn boat ramp now - he is the  same Savin Rock Glaucous that has been on the Savin Rock Condo and Peck beaches since May including yesterday.  Identical patterning. Such a beauty! Glad he is sticking around for the winter. I really wish people would stop feeding these gulls though. I see it 2-3 times a day and educate them when I can get to them. These lucky gulls have so much to eat in the water it really upsets me. Will try to get better signage here.

I have been scoping and searching since a bit after 8 AM in hopes of better looks than yesterday.  No luck so far.



Many other birders looking and no one has found it either.  I have met birders from as far away as Pennsylvania.
