2/5 Milford, Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center, 10am-1PM, overcast,
mid-tide receding, 45F.
On my drive in, I passed Treat Farm and noticed that now there is a coyote
statue in the fields there.
On the marsh:
4 American Wigeons, 6 Gadwalls, 120 (estimate) Canada Geese spread
throughout the marsh, 16 American Black ducks, 2 mallards, 9 Red Breasted
Mergansers, 1 Common Loon, 10 Buffleheads, 1 Northern harrier coasting over
the marsh, 1 Mute swan and 1 Great Black backed gull sitting on the osprey
nest platform.
2 human visitors said they saw Common Golden eyes further out on the marsh.
On the grounds & feeders:
6 Mourning doves, 4 cardinals (all male), 1 Mockingbird, 1 Blue Jay, 18
Starlings mobbing the feeders, 1 Song sparrow, 2 House sparrows and 2 House
finches.
