51 MamBO' Selecta! English 44 Got great views of turkey vulture on way to Connecticut Audubon at Glastonbury. Also got yellow bellied sapsucker there with other good birds, bufflehead, wood duck and a pair of Northern cardinals which were nice! Unfortunately I didn't see many species but that's what I get for staying with family who have absolutely no interest in nature at all.
