[CT Birds] Barnacle, Greater White-fronted Geese, Newtown

[Anthony Amato]

        From Tony Amato

            Thanks for the help in finding Wasserman Way/Mile Hill Rd.
   The street seems to use both names.  I searched the Horse Guard area
   and the Ram Pasture for two hours this morning without finding the geese.
   I then returned to the Ram Pasture pond on RT 25 at 1:00 and found both
   the Barnacle and the Greater White-fronted Goose.  (And apparently some
   barnyard or Greylag Geese mixed in with a couple of hundred Canadas).

  In between I drove to Allen's Meadow in Wilton and had a brief glimpse of
the
  Northern Shrike at about 11:30.  It flew from perch to perch and then flew
off into the woods.
