 From John Maynard:
9/26 - Middletown, Nature Gardens -- PURPLE FINCH flock feeding in
mature red cedar tree strewn with light-blue cedar berries; also
feeding was a BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (female). Purple finches numbered
at least 14, 12 females and 2 males. There were adults and immatures
seen in each gender.  9:30-10:15 a.m.

 From Patrick Comins:
9/25-26 - Waterbury -- adult Peregrine Falcon last night, perched atop
the billboard visible from eastbound I-84, just after the Rt. 8
Junction (the one for some hospital with a photo of a woman and her
mother).  Again this morning, I saw a peregrine again atop the
billboard on the way to work again this morning (very tricky to see
the sign from westbound).
