[CT Daily] CT Report 01/27/2007 LAZULI BUNTING

[Roy Harvey]

Note: Sorry to have to pass this on from one report today: "We made
another attempt to relocate the Lazuli Bunting we were disturbed to
see a green SUV with Connecticut plates drive right up into the group
of sparrows that the Lazuli has been hanging with scaring them all
away.  All I could see was a big lens hanging out the window so I know
it was a photographer one who obviously has not read the etiquette on
bird watching.
