To reach the landfill, take the Spencer Street exit from Interstate 384. Turn east onto Spencer Street and continue to the intersection of Spencer and Olcott Streets and turn left onto Olcott. The landfill entrance will come up soon on your left. Note that the landfill is an active one and birders should be cautious of both the truck traffic and materials in the soil. Birders are also encouraged to wear heavy-soled boots.
Miscellaneous reports follow.
The Connecticut Rare Bird Alert is jointly sponsored by the Connecticut Ornithological Association and the Audubon Council of Connecticut. Updates are usually made on Wednesday evenings, more often as warranted. Reporting your sightings is the ONLY way this Alert gets updated. The Connecticut Ornithological Association is a non-profit organization that publishes information about Connecticut birds and birding, offers field trips, and sponsors meetings.
