Caught in the act in southeastern Connecticut today: a female downy woodpecker goes after the syrup in the hummingbird feeder.

On a visit to the Ice pond yesterday, we encountered a frequent visitor, according to my brother, on the far side. This night heron has been hanging around for a while and I was lucky enough to catch it while it was investigating the algae filled pond.

During a walk down toward Enders Island last weekend on the Connecticut coast, the ocean side marsh had a multitude of redwing blackbirds foraging for food.
