Subject: CT Report 04/01/2008 BULLOCK'S ORIOLE
From: Roy Harvey <rmharvey(AT)snet.net>
Date: 1 Apr 2008 9:16pm
Note 1: Over on CTBirds Dave Provencher made a time observation today.
"We may have some new arrivals in CT tomorrow with the strong
southwesterly winds that are occurring today and tonight. While many
Fall migrants prefer stable atmospheric conditions for migration,
Spring migrants are motivated by the urge to get on territory quickly
and are more likely to move during turbulent atmospheric conditions.
Spring migrants will often use strong tailwinds to cover a lot of
ground fast. So be on the alert for new arrivals tomorrow. Maybe our
first Ruby-throated Hummingbird for 2008?"
Note 2: Also on CTBirds, Luke Tiller also had an interesting
observation:
"Just a heads up to those in the north of the state that there appears
to be some good sized flocks of Bowax's being reported just across the
border in MA right now, especially it seems along the Connecticut
River Valley. Might be worth keeping your eyes peeled."

Subject: CT Report 04/03/2008 BULLOCK'S ORIOLE
From: Roy Harvey <rmharvey(AT)snet.net>
Date: 3 Apr 2008 9:42pm
Note 1: Mark Szantyr has raised some questions about the possibility
that the Bullock's Oriole might be a hybrid. You can read his message
on CTBirds.
Note 2: In past years this daily rare bird report included migration
notes at certain seasons. Since anyone who is interested can find
this information on CTBirds in much greater detail, I don't plan on
doing that this season. To get the full picture you need to read
CTBirds.
