Good numbers. No real rarities. Scarlet Tanager - 1 ad. M. Summer Tanager - 2 recognizably different birds White-Crowned Sparrows - all over the place in Wesport Indigo Bunting - 4 or 5, Westport Blue Grosbeak - 1 imm. M. Baltimore Oriole - 15+ Orchard Oriole - 1 ad. M Nice sights included Summer Tanager, 2 species of Oriole and Indigo Buntings all together, Blue Grosbeak and Indigo Bunting side by side, and N.Harriers, Turkey Vultures, Sharpie and E.Bluebird all in view at the same time..
