8/20 Milford, Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center, 9:45am-12:45PM. overcast, 70F, windy, high tide-receding. I didn't see any Purple Martins this morning. Our Purple Martins seem to be on their southward migration. Our Osprey fledglings were busy flying around the marsh and spent much of the morning eating a fish. The center was very busy with visitors this morning- adults and children- local and out of state. On the marsh- 1 Canada Goose, 5 D.C. Cormorants, 2 Least Terns, 1 Mute swan, 2 Barn swallows flying over and 2 juvenile Yellow crowned night herons flying over and foraging along the marsh edge. On the grounds: 1 Ruby throated hummingbird at the feeder, 4 House finches, a Chickadee, a Mockingbird and 2 Cardinals. Bev Propen, Orange
