So, I was up early and off to the rural northwestern corner of the Nutmeg State. Just under 2 hours later I had made the 110 mile drive to home at the corner of Under Mountain Road & Cobble Road.
I was the first one on site at 7:45 and the birds were not yet around, but within a few minutes I could hear the squawks of the flock as they flew into the large tree above the home. There were about 32 of the birds and shortly thereafter they began the ritual of coming into the platform feeder in small groups only to abruptly head off back into the trees, only to be replaced by yet another small group of Grobseaks. I really enjoyed seeing this species again so I stayed for just over an hour, until the birds made a longer trip onto another feeding site.
