    I was walking around the house this morning when I heard an unfamiliar trill in my backyard. I was rewarded with a pair of Carolina Wrens singing and responding in a tree right outside my window. Since I hadn't seen any in my yard before, the distinct curved bill, white eye stripe and throat...

    I forgot to add that we have frequent sightings of Monk Parakeets here in lower Fairfield, plus some unidentified swallows skimming for insects along the river.

    CT USA - Juvenile Osprey or Red-Shouldered Hawk?

    Photographed in a tree in Fairfield, CT USA - near the coast of Long Island Sound. That's a rat in its claws. At first I thought this was a juvenile Osprey, but now I'm not quite sure. Thank you.

    Here in Fairfield, CT, I have a great location, close to the Mill River, near Long Island Sound, therefore getting a good mix of sea/water birds and feeder birds. Not bad for a novice birder.
