[CT Birds] Naugatuck River Greenway

[MARIA STOCKMAL]

I walked the Naugatuck River Greenway on this windy day and had a surprise with a Red-throated Loon in the bay at the confluence of the Naugatuck and Housatonic Rivers.  Also, were Rusty Blackbirds, Black Vultures, Red-tailed Hawk, and a Sharp-shinned Hawk flying up the railroad tracks.
   
  A week ago at the Branford river marsh I had a No. Harrier.  I was hoping for one but thought the marsh was too small.  I also had Pintails at the same time everyone was reporting them.
