[CT Birds] Harlequin Ducks at Sachuest, RI

[ORCHIDS]

On route through southeastern CT (Griswold?) when a mink crossed the  
road - had I not leaned on the horn - the oncoming car would have run  
the mink down - driver didn't even slow down.

About 30 Harlequin at Sachuest.  Harlequin are always at this location  
in the winter, typically on the south and east shore and at times but  
several feet from the beach.  The usual list of winter ducks, did not  
see the Barrows Goldeneye on the west side of the park - just too  
windy to search.
