Subject: CT Report 08/26/2008 White Ibis, Mississippi Kites
From: Roy Harvey <rmharvey(AT)snet.net>
Date: 26 Aug 2008 9:59pm
From Mardi & Towny Dickinson:
8/26 - East Norwalk, 14 Acre Pond, 11 Allen Road -- 6AM, 6:45-7:16PM.
For the last couple of days we have watched morning and night flights
of the Juvenile WHITE IBIS seen well behind the Norwalk senior
center., Until it flew back towards Woods Pond so we thought. Upon
returning back to the car., We then saw the White Ibis circle around
and land in a private smaller pond (does not appear on google map)
near-by. For several minutes, we watched the Ibis feed and then it
flew into the trees next to the little pond to settle down for the
night so it seemed. We waited to see and sure enough it settled down.
We believe this maybe the nightly safe haven the White Ibis has
choosen to roost for the last several days. Alas, we have found the
missing piece of the puzzle. We wished the Ibis a good evening and
went on our merry way.
Upon further talks with several neighbors I spoke with, they said oh
yes, we have been watching this bird for way over a week! It seems to
be quite content. This is clearly the roosting spot as we have now
confirmed within the last 2 days that this is the routine in early AM
and the PM flight. Way Cool!
From Phil Henson:
8/26 - Simsbury, Great Pond -- one MISSISSIPPI KITE soaring over the
forest on the west side of the pond at around 10:45 AM.
From Gary & CJ Lemmon:
8/26 - Norwalk, Allen's Rd Senior Center pond -- about 12:30 PM, White
Ibis continues. Bird was foraging in the middle of the pond affording
great looks.
From Scott Kruitbosch:
8/26 - Stratford yard -- 1 YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER.
From Jerry Connolly:
8/26 - Hammonasset SP -- SOLITARY SANDPIPER (2), YELLOW-BELLIED
FLYCATCHER.

Subject: CT Report 08/28/2008
From: Roy Harvey <rmharvey(AT)snet.net>
Date: 28 Aug 2008 9:41pm
Note: This is the last daily report for the next several days as I
will be away. Most of what appears in the daily report comes from the
CTBirds open discussion list, so if you want to know what is happening
read CTBirds. The archives can be found at:
http://lists.ctbirding.org/pipermail/ctbirds_lists.ctbirding.org/
or
http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CTBD.html
The second is a bit easier to read byt goes back only a few days. The
first goes back about a year and a half, isn't quite as friendly.
Of course you can join CTBirds. Instructions are at:
http://lists.ctbirding.org/mailman/listinfo/ctbirds_lists.ctbirding.org
but if you run into problems I won't be back to help until the middle
of next week or so.
Good birding!
