[CT Birds] One chance

[COMINS, Patrick]

It's not entirely 'eastern' but I find Hammonasset a great place to be in rainy/stormy weather.  Great variety of habitats and a good view of the sound.  While in the neighborhood, Menunketescuk can be a great place to scope around low tide, especially in bad weather...best viewed from the town beach in Westbrook...lots of tidal flats.

I wasn't going to post these, but since I am already posting:
Nice mix of birds in the yard yesterday in Meriden with the highlights being 2 BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS and a RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH....also CHESTNUT-SIDED and several PARULAS.  A PILEATED WOODPECKER was a nice treat for this urban/suburban landscape.

For the daily report in case Roy wants to add it:
>From Patrick Comins:
5/07 - Meriden Yard-- 2 BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS, RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH.
