[CT Daily] 02/21/2007 WHITE-WINGED DOVE

[Roy Harvey]

Note: Apparently the White-winged Dove in Branford was seen somewhat
regularly over the course of the day.  The question of whether it was
an escaped bird is still open.

Directions to 2 Shady Lane, Branford
From the west, Exit 53 from I-95; right onto Rt 1 West, pass under a
railroad overpass, though the light at Rt 142, 2 more quick lights and
take the left at Wendy's onto Alps Rd, .7 miles to Briarwood Lane

then left onto Shady Lane.  Number 2 is at the end of the road at the
cul-de-sac, the feeder it was visiting is in the front yard.
From the east, Exit 54 from I-95; left at the exit, right onto Rt 1
West, perhaps a bit under 1 mile till you go under the railroad
overpass, then continue with directions from the west.
