Does anyone happen to know if the yellow-headed blackbird that was being
seen last week is still being viewed in Ellington? If so, do you know
exactly what/where I could put into my gps to find it? Thank you.

The Yellow-headed Blackbird has not been seen in over a week now up in Ellington. There seems to be only starlings in the area at the moment.

Just over the CT border / North Stamford.
Really active in the marshy area on the eastern side of the open space.
Great place for Stamford birders to go so I figured I'd send my list
despite location. A few nice surprises this morning.
Hermit thrush - came over to investigate and gave me good looks
Bluebird - female - also came over to me, no friends
Yellowbellied sapsucker - super quiet and low in the marsh
Pileated woodpecker - not quiet
Red bellied woodpecker
Flickers
Carolina wrens - many
White breast nuthatch
Downy woodpecker
Hairy woodpecker
Robins
Titmouse
Bald eagle - long circling flyover. Really good looks
Gold crowned kinglet
Chickadee
House finch
Goldfinch
Cardinal
White throated sparrow
Blue jay
Was hoping to catch a brown creeper and winter wren as they like this
place but no luck today.
