[CT Birds] Bridgeport Again

[Dennis Varza]

Hi Folks

Here is another look into Bridgeport to compare with yesterday

Dennis Varza
Fairfield

Bridgeport, Ash Creek To Black Rock Harbor, 9:55-10:30 // Seaside  
Park 10:40 - 11:20

The weather was milder this week than last, less water was frozen so  
a lot of ducks moved back inland. There was a lot less activity on  
the water compared to Southport and Yesterday. There was far fewer  
Herring Gulls than reported yesterday. The most interesting addition  
was more Scaup in Black Rock Harbor.
