Continuing our review of late summer visits along the Connecticut shore, we found these sandpipers, probably greater yellowlegs.

During our visit to Connecticut several months ago, we had a visitor up close. This House Sparrow, I think, is a frequent user of the bird bath and feeders provided by my brother.

As I visited the Poggy Bay marsh in late summer, I spotted a heron hanging around the boat dock. Typically, as I slowly approached as carefully as possible, it detected my presence and did not opt for the photo opportunity.
