[CT Birds] Old Saybrook Bonaparte's ?

[northernrail at comcast.net]

Has anybody seen any flocks of Bonaparte's in Old Saybrook this spring? I have been hitting the coves and beaches every 2-3 days at low tide all spring  and except for a couple of individuals a long time ago, I have not seen any. In the last 8-9 years that I have birded this area, I can't remember a spring where I haven't gotten a flock of  at least 100-200 birds. Any ideas, or did I just miss them somehow.
