I'd estimate about 30. Patrick Patrick M. Comins, Director of Bird Conservation, Audubon Connecticut Phone: (203)405-9115 Please join us on April 27 for Audubon Connecticut's Environmental Leadership Awards Benefit: EXPERIENCE NATURE!

Though it is certainly difficult to judge, I would estimate there were between 150 and 225 birds. There were smaller numbers of scarlet tanager, rose-breasted grosbeak, and ovenbird — classic August migrants all. These flights are extremely exhilarating to observe. To think these calls have resounded through this forest for thousands of years!

I estimated about 300 Laughing Gulls as well as smaller numbers of Ring-billed and Herring. I also had at least two Forster's Terns in with the flock, the first time I've seen terns take insects. The ant swarm itself was quite impressive.

At Lake Wepawaug, there were about 300 (estimate) Canada Geese-mostly resting on the ice and 1 Mute Swan tucked in with them. they were close to the shore, so I was able to see with my binoculars, but I didn't see the PF Goose. This was around 11:45pm. Bev Propen, orange

Later, I walked out on the Milford Pt tidal flats / gravel bars during low tide, and found 2 BLACK TERNS (adult starting to molt, and an apparent juvenile with much white on forehead, neck, and underparts) and 9 ROSEATE TERNS (all adults; 1 banded) among an estimated 700 Common Terns.

At Lake Wepawaug- When I first got there, there were about 100 Canada geese (small number for that location), but as I was leaving 30 minutes later, several large, noisy flocks flew in (estimate of another 300)-did a brief scan, but didn't see any unusual geese. 19 Ring necked ducks, 2 Common Mergansers, 1 Pied Bill grebe, 10 mallards, 2 American black ducks

From Nick Bonomo: 01/08/09 - Milford, Morningside section, LI Sound -- estimated 75 White-winged Scoter. From Karen Fiske: 01/08/09 - Middlefield, Way Rd, John Lyman School -- 2 BLACK VULTURES above the school heading toward Lake Beseck. From Greg Hanisek: 01/08/09 - Southbury, training school farm -- light ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK.

Milford, Milford Point - For at least third day (thanks George Amato) a huge flock of an estimated 2500 Laughing Gulls feeding on baitfish on the Sound and roosting on sandbars, between Charles Is and the Housatonic River mouth. Among them were a juvenile Bonaparte’s Gull and 6 Common Terns. Ideal time for a rare jaeger, but none seen.
