[CT Birds] Eastern Milford

[Dennis Varza]

Hi Folks
I got in a quick run from Gulf Pond to Oyster River before the storm.  
Off shore was empty except for the odd Common Loon and Oldsquaw.  
Again immature Ring-billed Gulls are scarce. Most adults were where  
they get fed, Gulf Beach and Oyster River.
