Winter Wren	Try Boston Hollow in Ashford to hear the bouncing, musical song of these bundles of energy. They act almost more like mice than birds.	Suggested by Matt Bell
Wood Duck	Roy and Margot Larsen Wildlife Sanctuary, Fairfield. Broods of young Wood Duck are now visible at Farm Pond and Wildlife Pond. The ducklings are about half grown and best seen when most active in the early mornings.	Suggested by Milan Bull
Black Vulture © C.S. Wood	They roost on the tower next to the I-95 bridge across the Connecticut River in Old Lyme (but never on the Old Saybrook side!). There’s a micro-park under the tower with a commanding view of the estuary. You can see what the vultures Turkey Vultures too) have been eating and dropping.	Suggested by Jim Arrigoni
