Birders who Blog Tweet and Chirp in Connecticut

I am a little behind in blogging about this event that took place last weekend. About a month ago, I blogged about a BwBTC field trip that Dawn and I coordinated while she and Jeff were here in Massachusetts. On Saturday there was another field trip, which Dawn coordinated with Luke from the Under Clear Skies blog in Connecticut. Luke was a great leader and organized a meeting place and a few destinations that got us a great variety of birds, as well as a great lunch stop.
Some of the highlights of the day included both night herons, Little Blue Heron, the northermost breeding Boat-tailed Grackles, Monk Parakeets, an immature King Eider, and a host of shorebirds.

Rather than simply reiterating what other (better) bloggers have already written about the day, allow me to direct you to some of those who were there:

Luke, our fearless leader, wrote a bit about it here.
Larry, of the Brownstone Birding Blog, had a nice summary (especially of conversations) here.
Dan, from Nature Observances, blogged about it here, and enjoyed it so much he went back (see later posts)
Chris from Tails of Birding was only able to join us for a short time, but got some great pics posted here.
Bev, (one of my favorite birding buds) on her Behind the Bins blog, knocked out a quick post about it here.
DeeJ, of the Oak in the Seed blog, was able to ride up with Bev, and blogged a bit about it here.
Also joining us for the day were Cindy of Living in Brooklyn - Longing for Maine, Laura and Mark from the Interstitial Spaces, and of course, the inimitable Catherine of Birdspot.

Last, but certainly not least, was the driving force, founder and inspiration of the Birders who Blog, Tweet, and Chirp, the energizer bunny of birders: Dawn of Dawn's Bloggy Blog. Not only does she organize these wonderful social events - she blogs it better than anyone! She has posted THREE times about it, with wonderful photos, movies, and a great summary of the day.
Part 1 is here.
Part 2 is here.
Part 3 is here.

I gotta' tell you, these meetings are great, and if you have an opportunity to join, I really recommend that you do so. How do you find out about them? (Or better yet, organize one yourself)
