[CT Birds] Tundra Swan No

[CTHiker20 at aol.com]

Left work at 3:00 PM and headed down to Stratford in hopes of finding the  
Tundra Swan. Unfortunately what we didn't count on was the fire on Long  
Beach/Pleasure Beach.We got there about 4:00 right after the fire started .There  
were cops and fire trucks everywhere including at the end of Long Beach  
Boulevard.By the time we walked out to the platform the first cottage was gone  and 
the second was engulfed in flames.When we were leaving a third cottage was  
burning and two news helicopters and a plane continuously surrounded the  area.The 
Long Beach parking lot was blocked off so we didn't get to scan much  from 
the other side.The Tundra Swan was no where to be seen but I cant say I  don't 
blame it. There was way to much activity and people were walking all  through 
the marsh trying to get a better look at the fire.
