Lead a Hartford Audubon walk Saturday morning with a few highlights.We  
started of with a couple quick looks at the ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER in  the area 
previously reported at about 8:30.We also had really good looks at  several PINE 
WARBLERS in the same area.In the nature center parking lot we had  two LAPLAND 
LONGSPURS in with the Horned Larks.The platform at the end of  Willards 
Island yielded Several Common Goldeneye with a large group of  Buffleheads.At the 
Maigs Point jetty we had Sanderling,Dunlin,Ruddy  Turnstone,and Purple 
Sandpiper as well as three Surf Scoter.We ended the day off  in the right hand corner 
of the west beach parking lot watching at least  12 RED CROSSBILLS feeding and 
drinking in the puddle feet away from  us. The best looks I have personally 
ever gotten. A special thanks to my  father for finding them.
