Hammonasset Bird Walk – December 9, 2018

12/9/18

The Hartford Audubon bird walk at Hammonasset State Park in Madison, CT began in the teens, sunny with seven birders, all HAS members.

Beautiful looks to the Sound:  many Ruddy Turnstones and Dunlin on the jetty; but mostly quiet inland.

Highlights:
Barred Owls on Willard Island; Northern Harrier at a distance; one Lapland Longspur in with many Horned Larks and one elusive American Bittern in the marsh near the pavilion.

A nice wrap up at the nearby Fish Tale restaurant was enjoyed by all.
