I stand corrected regarding the geographical center of Connecticut.  Several people have sent me notes telling me that the center is actually in Middlesex County.  I did some checking and it turns out that we're all wrong and it is actually in Hartford County according to the USGS:

Geographic Center:
Located in Hartford County approx. at East Berlin
(source: U.S. Geological Survey)

I had always thought that it was somewhere near West Peak in Meriden.  It probably depends on how you measure things.

I sent a note to the eBird folks to see if there is another explanation for Bev's issue.  Hopefully they'll get back to me.
