[CT Daily] 04/21/2008 RUFF, HARLEQUIN

[Roy Harvey]

 From Greg Hanisek with Randy Domina:
4/21 - Greenwich, Greenwich Point -- female Harlequin Duck present at
10:25 in the location as previously reported.  It was not there at
7:30 when the tide was low, but when we checked again later the tide
was higher and the bird was found.

 From Meredith Sampson:
4/21 - Old Greenwich, Greenwich Point -- HARLEQUIN DUCK continues
(viewed at about 10:30 with small group of Brant), WINTER WREN.

 From Phil Asprelli with Charley West, Kurt Muenz, Christina Guarino
and Don Morgan:
4/21 - - Westport, Grace Salmon Park -- RUFF 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon.
Good looks the whole time.  It is better to view the Ruff when the
tide is rising or receding rather than absolute low where the bird can
venture far and wide on the mud flats thus making it more difficult to
be seen.

4/21 - South Windsor, Vibert Road -- 1 SOLITARY SANDPIPER, 1
BLUE-WINGED TEAL, 8+ WILSON'S SNIPE.

 From Bill Asteriades:
