Subject: CT Report 01/21/2008 WESTERN TANAGER
From: Roy Harvey <rmharvey(AT)snet.net>
Date: 21 Jan 2008 10:02pm
From Greg Hanisek, Neil Currie, Randy Domina
1/21 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- WESTERN TANAGER along with 3
Pine Warblers, a Fox Sparrow, a Red-breasted Nuthatch, a Brown
Creeper, several Yellow-rumped Warblers and lots of robins,
white-throats and juncos. American Bittern at Meigs Point blind.
We found the Western Tanager between 1:30 and 2 p.m. along the eastern
edge of the campground, adjacent to the park entrance road. We'd
stopped along the road to look for the Pine Warbler that has been seen
about half way between the toll booths and the main rotary. Most of
the bird activity was on the campground side of the trees lining the
west side of the entrance road, because that was the sunny side.
(More details can be found in Greg's full message on CTBirds.)

new birds showing up daily.

Date: 23 Jan 2008 9:41pm
From John Ogren:
1/23 - Hammonasett SP -- Western Tanager was found at 11 at west side
of campground, west of Mohegan1. It was there for 15 minutes and
flushed to a stand of cedars/junipers further west of Mohegan 1.
Stayed in trees for another 15 min. I left and came back. Nick
Bonomo and I found the bird again at noon in middle of campground 1/2
between campsite 30 and Mohegan 1. Look for large flock of Juncos,
Yellow-rumps, and Pine Warblers.
From Dori Sosensky:

Bird seen by 5 of us from about 2:40 to 2:50 p.m. In the campground
area look for a flock of feeder birds in the vicinity of Camp site #1
or Camp site #30 (they are not that far from each other). This flock
seems to hang around there and grows and diminishes in size as the day
goes on. If you are patient staking this flock out, then hopefully
the Tanager will appear.
From David Gersten:
