Spring Migration - Busy Week

Well, I am finally finding some time to post a few thoughts. It has been a blazingly fast spring migration with a trip to Texas and many more to coordinate; Cape May, Cornwall, and the CT Lakes. The local migration is at its peak, the first Blackpoll Warblers just arriving. Hammonasset Beach State Park has yielded some nice birds including a first for me in Connecticut, a Boat-tailed Grackle. I never bothered to chase boattails in Fairfield county on any of the multiple occations they have shown up. Hearing the familiar sound of coastal Texas in my own backyard was a bit of a strange twist, the electronic kids' game sounds of a displaying male. This week is a busy few days with a group trip to my favorite spring locations and a private tour to find a few area specialties. For personal targets, I have been looking locally for Least Bitterns over the last week or so, never having seen one in Connecticut; many in Texas. Wish me luck!
