1/23  Orange.

I did a brief survey around Crosby Pond, Indian Lake and Lake Wepawaug late

morning.

Crosby Pond still has the 2 Northern Pintails, with mallards and a pair of

Red shouldered hawks that seem to be setting up a household there.

Indian Lake had about 120 mallards, about 34 Canada Geese , 3 Mute Swans

and Ring billed gulls, but I didn't see  the PF Goose nor the Canada with a

black & white speckled head & neck.

At Lake Wepawaug, there were about 300  (estimate) Canada Geese-mostly

resting on the ice and 1 Mute Swan tucked in with them.  they were close to

the shore, so I was able to see with my binoculars, but I didn't see the PF

Goose.  This was around 11:45pm.

Hi all,

On the 19th I found a Tufted Duck at Captain's Cove, Bridgeport that has only a hint of a wispy crest. This explains some of the confusion with the Lesser Scaup showing little or no white feathering around their bills. It appears that there are, or have been, two female Tufted Ducks at Captain's Cove in the last month or so. I just posted a couple of photos of this bird on my Birding in Connecticut Facebook page taken by Joanne Fasciolo, who saw the bird with me on the 19th. Apparently, this Tufted Duck was first seen on January 4 by Aidan Kiley. If anyone has photos of this "tuftless" individual before the 4th, please let me know. Also, if anyone has recent photos of the bird with the obvious tuft, or of both birds together, also let me know. I'd like to know if there is any overlap in their time at Captain's Cove. Thank you.

Actually, there are 2 separate flocks of Canadas at Indian Lake in Orange.

One vantage point is from 535 Indian River Rd (but it's a busy road) and

other vantage for other flock is at 194 Margaret Lane.  Flock seen from 535

Indian River rd, had a Canada with black and white speckled head.  The

flock by 194 Margaret Lane was more difficult to see all the geese .

There are about 100 Canadas at Indian lake in Orange.

If you put 194 Margaret lane on gps, one could check them. I looked with bins but there is a curve on lake edge where they're feeding & I can't see around it.

That is if the PF goose hasn't shown at lake wepawaug.

Hi everyone,

If you're interested in where things stand for the winter atlas, we did an update of the block stats and species lists on the web site earlier this week. As usual, we're still a bit behind on the entry of data submitted by mail or scanned forms, but eBird data should be more-or-less up to date (give or take a couple of days).

I just posted maps on the blog, showing where things stand in terms of block completion:

http://ctbirdatlas.org/blog/in...

You'll see that we made good progress in the middle of the state for the early winter period, but that there is still lots to do for the late winter period which goes until the end of February. If you're going out, but don't have firm plans, please consider visiting an under-birded area and sharing your findings with the atlas.

Thanks,Chris

Hi all,



Sorting out Scaup and their cousins can be a pain, and there seems to be some confusion with sorting out the female Tufted Duck from the many scaup at Captain's Cove, Bridgeport. The Tufted Duck has a faily long wispy tuft that may be difficult to see at certain angles, but is generally pretty obvious. In addition, it has a solid dark back, no white surrounding the bill, and a large dark tooth that nearly covers the tip of the bill. The confusion seems to be with a couple of young female Lesser Scaup that show little or no white surrounding the base of the bill, and also have dark backs, although theirs is a bit less extensive and they have paler flanks. The indentation at the back of the head may suggest a crest, but doesn't approach the length of the longer wispy crest of the Tufted. Lesser Scaup also have a tiny sliver of a tooth at the bill tip, not the wide tooth of the Tufted. Additionally, the female Tufted has brown flanks and white undertail coverts, and is small, only slightly larger than a Lesser Scaup.



I hope this helps to eliminate some of the confusion

I'm using Snow X Ross here because that  name has taken on a life of it's

own as people flock to Orange to see the gaggle of good geese (that's GOGG

:). However, definitively determining it identity/parentage isn't a simple

proposition. Some folks with wide knowledge of western geese are pouring

over what photos we have, but more would be better. If anyone has some that

haven't been added to eBird checklists, please email jpegs to me. If you're

off to Orange tomorrow and wield a camera, try to get more pix.

Subject: [CT Birds] Quinnipiac Marsh



I was just at the Quinnipiac Tidal Marsh Trail, and I have a crazy story.

First, I played recordings of Clapper Rail at the bend in the trail where

it overlooks the river, and one responded. I continued down the trail and

met a birder I have never seen before and who didn't mention his name. He

said that there was a large flock of Red-winged Blackbirds in the old train

yard and that there were 2 Rusty Blackbirds mixed in, along with a

YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD! I immediately rushed down the trail and found a

large group of Red-winged Blackbirds. There were at least 44. I quickly

found the 2 Rusty Blackbirds, and had just got on a browner bird that was

weird looking when the whole flock took off because of a Coopers Hawk. So

highlights are Clapper Rail, Rusty Blackbird, and Belted Kingfisher. It is

very possible that there is also a Yellow-headed Blackbird hanging around,

so people should be on the lookout. I got poor photos of part of the

blackbird flock, and will post a complete checklist on eBird.
