SUMMARY:Canceled -  June 9\, 2020 - Pot Luck Picnic and Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Dear Hartford Audubon Members\,\n\nWith sadness I’m writing to let you know that we’re canceling the June 9th Potluck Picnic we hold every year at Northwest Park.  The Park has canceled all events\, and although we considered relocating the picnic it seems premature for us to return to a social event.  So\, I wish you all a wonderful summer!\n\nThe new Program Book will be mailed in August.  I look forward to seeing you all while out birding — socially distanced\, of course!\n\nSarah Faulkner\nHAS President\n

SUMMARY:UPDATED - PLEASE READ -June 13-14\, 2020 - Summer Bird Count - Saturday-Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Hartford Summer Bird Count Update from Jay Kaplan\, Compiler: \nPlease note that the Summer Bird Count (SBA) will take place on the second weekend of June.  This count can be done individually and does not require birding in groups.  Additional information will be forthcoming after the conclusion of the ongoing spring census. \nJay Kaplan\, Compiler \nJoin Hartford Audubon members as we participate in the annual Summer Bird Count. Species and numbers are counted on this two-day tally within our Christmas Count circle. Bird one day or both and help collect breeding bird data and track species trends for Connecticut. \nFor more information\, contact Jay at 860-693-0157 or jaybrd49@aol.com

SUMMARY:Hartford Summer Bird Count Summary - June 13-14\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:HARTFORD SUMMER BIRD COUNT SUMMARY – JUNE 13-14 2020 \nWhat a strange year this has been!  After some question as to whether there should even be Summer Bird Counts (SBC) in Connecticut the decision was made to hold them as scheduled.  It was reasoned that birding lends itself nicely to social distancing and the Hartford SBC was held with the recommendation that people go out individually or only with family members rather than in larger groups. \nJune 13th-14th 2020 provided great weather on both days of the weekend.  There was concern that participation might suffer because of  COVID-19\, however\, this proved not to be the case as over 60 observers spread out over the Hartford area as compared to 38 participants in 2019.   That is not to say that there were not issues. \nIn the Hartford area\, we were denied access to the campus of the University of Hartford from which we access the Park River and the areas behind the magnet school.  Apparently the campus is closed without authorized permission to enter. \nWe will check into this before December’s Christmas Bird Count.  In addition to more participants\, this year also saw a significant increase in party hours as a total of 195 far exceeded last year’s 127.5 party hours. \nTotal species came in at 110\, a decrease by two from 2019\, and included one rather astonishing report.  A possible Western Meadowlark was observed and photographed in the Glastonbury meadows.  Although we are including this sighting on our report for now\, this record has been forwarded to the Avian Record Committee for evaluation.   A decision will probably not come until after the Committee’s annual meeting in early 2021.   Although nothing compares to this sighting\, additional birds of note included a Great Egret in Wethersfield (last year a bird was seen across the Connecticut River in Glastonbury)\, an American Woodcock and Yellow-rumped Warbler in East Hartford\, a Herring Gull in Hartford\, a Sharp-shinned Hawk in Glastonbury\, a Blue-headed Vireo in Bloomfield\, and a Worm-eating Warbler in West Hartford. \nOther species went unreported this year.  The marshes of South Windsor and Glastonbury did not produce any Sora or Virginia Rails this year\, perhaps due to the drought?  A number of species\, represented by a single individual in 2019\, did not return this year.  These included Mute Swan\, Ring-necked Pheasant\, Tri-colored Heron\, and Brown Thrasher.  Grasshopper Sparrow was missed for the second consecutive year\, although other grassland birds were well represented. \nA single American Kestrel was reported from South Windsor\, while at least two Peregrine Falcon nests provided 7 of these magnificent raptors.  Ospreys continue to increase as there are now at least a half dozen nests in the greater Hartford area.  Twenty ospreys\, a new high count\, were tallied on this year’s Count. Bald Eagles are also doing well with several nests reported along the Connecticut River and 15 eagles reported. \nWith regard to swallows\, the small Purple Martin colony in Glastonbury is hanging on with five birds reported.  Cliff Swallows in Bloomfield\, West Hartford and Windsor totaled 40 birds between these three sites.   Although our Count tallied 11 warbler species\, several were in very low numbers.  I do believe that more extensive coverage in the West Hartford Reservoir system and in the woodlands in Manchester might increase these numbers.  Rentschler Field\, once the premier site for grassland birds\, is now no longer accessible and is being managed in such a way that it is no longer providing habitat for grassland species.   Let us hope the few remaining grassland habitats will continue into the future. \nThe Hartford SBC\, has now completed its thirtieth year\, providing information on the status of breeding bird populations in the Hartford area.  In the third season of what was a three year\, but has become a four year state-wide atlasing project\, the Summer Bird Count continues to add valuable data to this worthy effort.  As compiler\, I thank the area captains and the 62 participants who donated their time to participate in the Count this year.  Results of ours and the other Connecticut SBCs will be published in an upcoming edition of The Connecticut Warbler\, quarterly journal of the Connecticut Ornithological Association.  For more information on the atlasing project\, go to www.ctbirdatlas.org \nA full accounting of the species found on the Hartford Count is available by e-mailing me at jaybrd49@aol.com \nJay Kaplan\, Compiler \nHartford Summer Bird Count \n  \n  \n  \n
