Phone: (860) 623-3696
In all of my 54 years living in Windsor Locks I have never seen a run on Cape May Warblers seen from my yard as this year. Beginning on September 23 and ending on October 8 I noted Cape May Warblers on five occasions involving either one or two individuals. In the past I would have seen maybe one individual bird during that time period. This species numbers tend to go up or down depending on spruce budworm populations so maybe they had a good nesting season this year but hard to tell from just my observations.

Please take a moment TODAY, before midnight, to SUBMIT A PUBLIC COMMENT on the Atlantic Menhaden issue, a fish essential to the livelihood of the osprey. Please make sure enough will be left in the sea for them to thrive.
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission will soon determine their fate.Â
Go to: https://asmfc.org/actions/atlantic-menhaden-draft-addendum-ii/
And click "submit a public comment."
It will only take two minutes.
The National Audubon Society is recommending to answer questions 5-12 as:
5. Option B4: 50% reduction of the Bay Cap resulting in 25,500 MT cap
6. Option C1E: 13.6%
7. Option C2A: Upper limit: 51,000 mt and lower limit: None
8. Option B2: Even Length & Uneven Harvest
9. Leave blank
10. Leave blank
11. Option B: Revisit Provision. The Chesapeake Bay Cap will be revisited every three years following implementation of this draft addendum.
12. Leave blankâor share more of your thoughts with the Commission
So please find two minutes before midnight today to speak up for the ospreys. We all love them.

I know these are common birds, but to see the Canada geese gathering on the Connecticut river is spectacular. Thereâs close to 200 right now, about 40 Mallards, Gulls, Heron and Cormorants visible from the window.
Having lived by water most of my life in New England, itâs been a harbinger of fall when families start to gather in groups and larger flocks. Just beautiful.

Subject: [CT Birds] extralimital Say's Phoebe |
In case anyone is interested there is an immature Say's Phoebe in Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers, NY, as of yesterday. I saw it today in the late am where the handicapped parking lot is just north of the mini golf area. It spends about 15 minutes or so there and then heads out northeast across the large field towards the bridge and disappears for a few hours but comes back to the same place. It gave great looks.

It's hard to believe that October is upon us, and the Community Garden Harvest contest starts today...!!
And good news for birders in southeastern Connecticut: A new garden has been added to the hotspot list, thanks to Joe Attwater of the Connecticut Audubon Society. It is the Coogan Farm Nature and Heritage Center in Mystic. Here's a link to the hotspot in eBird: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L2176245/bird-list?yr=cur&m=10&rank=lrec
It looks like a really nice spot, and it doesn't get too many visits from birders, so it will be interesting to see what Joe and others will find there!
Whether you get out today or sometime later in the month, don't forget to use the eBird hotspot and find as many birds as you can.
Let the harvest begin!

â¦the third annual Community Garden Harvest contest!
This is a friendly competition to see which community garden hotspot has the most species for the month of October!
Just bird at your local community garden hotspot any time during the month of October (as often as you wish!) to see how many species you can find. Record your birds in eBird, using the hotspot so the birds can be tallied. At the end of each week in October, I will post the number of species found.
The list of community garden hotspots from last year is below; if your favorite community garden-containing hotspot is not on the list, please let me know ASAP.
Allen's Meadows won this competition in 2024 and 2025, so let's give them a run for their money this year! Will Bauer beat them?! Can Woodbridge win?! Or will another hotspot get some focused birding and unseat them all...?!
October is just a couple days away, so get ready to visit these beautiful places and find some great birds...it's fun and you never know what you might find...!

Subject: [CT Birds] Please speak up for the OSPREY before OCT 9 |
OSPREY ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. They are struggling to find enoughfish to eat, particularly menhaden. Soon, the Atlantic States Marine FisheriesCommission will decide how much menhaden in the sea they will leave for thesemagnificent birds.
Please weigh in. The osprey NEED YOU!
BEFORE OCTOBER 9, to submit your comment.
Go to:Â https://asmfc.org/actions/atlantic-menhaden-draft-addendum-ii/
And speak for them.
What follows is a sample public comment from nationalAudubon. (CT Audubon, Iâve been told, is recommending Option B2.)
Sample comment:
Menhaden are one of the most important fish on the AtlanticCoast. They are vital not just as a food source to the birds and fish that callthe coast home, but also as a key forage fish species that many of our baitfisheries, coastal communities, and small businesses rely on. The Ospreypopulation has struggled in recent years, and it has become clear that ahealthy menhaden population is critical to the health of the entire ChesapeakeBay ecosystem.Â
As a concerned stakeholder, I want to thank you for theopportunity to comment on Draft Addendum II. I support the following managementoptions:
3.1: Options C1e and C2a. I support a precautionaryreduction in the Bay Cap by 50% of the current 51,000 metric tons for thereduction fishery. This will help increase the number of menhaden available inthe Chesapeake Bay, an important nursery for Atlantic menhaden.
3.2: Option B2. I support the establishment of three quotaperiods for the Bay Cap at a 25/25/50% harvest distribution percentage perquota period. This will help reduce food competition for birds like ospreyduring the most vulnerable times of their life cycles.
3.3: Option B. I support reviewing the Chesapeake Bay Capevery 3 years. This gives the Commission the ability to plan and react tochanging conditions and new information.
These options best support the Chesapeake Bay and ensure thehealth of our birds, people, and planet.
Sincerely,

Subject: [CT Birds] Bauer Farm update |
This morning about two dozen birders were looking for the visiting rarities and other birds at Bauer Farm in Madison.
The Lark sparrow is still around, although it is being more skittish and spending time in the plots of the community garden versus the mowed areas, making it more difficult to find today.
No one saw nor heard the Blue Grosbeak that was there for a while yesterday.
Other than that, the farm was very quiet this morning compared to the last couple of days â I noted that a number of the birds that have been resident over the last week moved on. Numbers of finch and sparrow species dropped from the aggregate hundreds down to probably less than 100, if that.
Seems like the big movement detected at BirdCast last night included a lot of birds leaving our area. Looking forward to the next wave of migrants!

Subject: [CT Birds] Another Bauer rarity |
The LARK SPARROW continues at Bauer Farm in Madison this morning. Today it seems to be mainly in the west side of the community gardens area, sticking to the mowed paths.
And after seeing the LASP, John Oshlick got a brief look at a BLUE GROSBEAK, and with much perseverance he tracked it down and about six of us got to see it before it flew off to the southeast.
It is notable that John found the first Blue Grosbeak at Bauer Farm some 12 or 13 years ago.
Both these birds are likely still there and many birder are looking.

In case you didn't see it on the GroupMe Rare Bird Alert...
This morning I found a LARK SPARROW at Bauer Farm in Madison.
The bird was originally in one of the mowed aisles in the community gardens, and moved to other mowed aisles several times. It likes to stay on the open short grass, which was just mowed the other day - mostly on the west side of the gardens. I relocated it at least five times, giving others a chance to see it, and it is likely still around. I'll post a link to my eBird report with photos later.

The weather has not been good for the hawk migration so far but things in theory will improve by Monday with the arrival of a cold front later today. Monday's weather forecast predicts strong NW winds so in theory there might be good flight of Broad-winged Hawks on Monday and on Tuesday.
