[CT Birds] Simsbury Farms- good birds today- Merlin

A correction- upon getting home, downloading my photos and doing a big crop
to get a real good look at the bird it turns out that what I thought from a
distance was a Kestrel was actually a Merlin!

3/3 - Simsbury -- Pine Grosbeaks continue at Simsbury Farms, north of ice
rink. I saw 10, incl one male, between 11am-11:45am. 
Also an American Kestrel teed up at top of tree 40 yards northeast of rink
and a Northern Shrike teed up at top of tree 25 yards southwest of rink.
