>From Frank & Linda Mantlik 2/20 Stratford, Long Beach, about 11am - Linda & I estimated about 40 COMMON REDPOLLS in the same location. They were mostly on the ground and could easily be missed, except occasionally would fly up onto weeds or the snow fencing. Frank also relocated the adult ICELAND GULL here to the east of the entrance booth (actually in front of one of the beach houses). 2/20 Raven Pond - 3 pair Northern Pintail, 1 pair Wood Ducks, and the male Mallard X Northern Pintail. ________________________________ From: "JohnMarshall47@gmail.com" <JohnMarshall47@gmail.com> To: ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org Sent: Sun, February 20, 2011 12:11:16 PM Subject: [CT Birds] Stratford, Long Beach - Common Redpolls from John Marshall: 2/20/11 - Stratford, Long Beach -- approximately 18 COMMON REDPOLL, feeding in the grasses on the dunes near the entrance booth 2/20/11 - Stratford, Raven Park Pond -- 5 NORTHERN PINTAIL (3 male, 2 female) John Marshall Watertown _______________________________________________ This list is provided by the Connecticut Ornithological Association (COA) for the discussion of birds and birding in Connecticut.
