If you love observing early migration and morning flight as I do,Burying Hill Beach in Westport was a good place to be this morning, but I suspect any local spots along the coast were hot also. I estimated 1800 blackbirds in groups of several to 200 moving west during my visit of about two and a half hours and I am sure I missed some.Bonus bird was the Blue Grosbeak that landed briefly and then continued west.
