11/29 Milford, Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center. 10am-1PM. High tide-rising, 36F., sunny. Some kindergarten classes learning about nature and clouds. Several visitors enjoying the views. The center was swamped by approximately 150 (conservative estimate) European Starlings- in the junipers in the parking lot, in the trees on our grounds and bathing and drinking in the fountain. I realize they are an invasive species and are aggressive towards nesting birds, but their singing/calling was enjoyable . For those who might be interested- the book *Mozart's Starling (*non-fiction*)* by Lyanda Haupt was very interesting and informative and gives one a different perspective on starlings. On the grounds: The starlings, 18 House sparrows in the brush piles, 4 Mourning doves, 10 House finches at the feeders, 5 American Robins, 1 Chickadee, 4 Common Grackles & 1 Cardinal. On the marsh: 3 Mute swans including one juvenile(still gray), 14 Gadwall, 8 American Wigeons, 6 Buffleheads, 16 American Black ducks, 2 mallards. Bev Propen, Orange
