Thanks to all who have offered their insights so far. I did some further web checking into my own question (how did we manage to survive before the web and search engines?) and came up with this website that lists arrival and departure dates for spring and fall, by state. http://www.birdnature.com/timetable.html Obviously I can't comment on how accurate this is but wanted to put it out there for the list to see.

As Jim Hunter has pointed out, one pretty good source of informaton on arrival/departure dates for birds in Connecticut is - appropriately enough- a book entitled "CONNECTICUT BIRDS" by Joseph D. Zeranski and Thomas R. Baptist. The book was published by University Press of New England in 1990. It may be available online somewhere. Many things have changed since the book was written, but it is generally still a good source of information. Other groups may well have their own records, such as the New Haven Bird Club, as Jim mentioned. ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
