Connecticut Birds

Here are some photos from my recent vacation to CT...


White-breasted Nuthatch.


Carolina Wren - nesting right next to my in-laws' screen door.


Tufted Titmouse - I miss these guys.


Juvenile Red-bellied Woodpecker.


Eastern Phoebe.


Song Sparrow - Not as darkly-colored as the Pacific Coast subspecies.


Gray Catbird


Veery - It was shot from a ways away and looks "veery small."


Chipping Sparrow - Saw about a million of these.


Mourning Dove - Also native to our area, but I hardly ever see them.


And of course, no photo collection of East Coast birds would be complete without a Northern Cardinal...


... and I'll throw in a deer as well, just for kicks.

Also seen but not photographed were Wild Turkey, Common Yellowthroats, a Wood Thrush, and more Robins and Blue Jays than you could shake a stick at.

People actually come here to Connecticut for vacations? I guess it all depends on your perspective.-Very nice photos! I don't know that I've ever seen your blog before.-I found it on a search of CT birding blogs.
