Fellow birders, Greetings. I took a couple of my children down to the Norwalk Reservoir to get some of their energy out at the playground. While we were there we saw the following: Canada Goose Ring-billed Gull American Crow American Goldfinch Great Blue Heron Mallard (including an interesting "albino" individual) After a while, a large bird of prey began hovering over the lake, attempting to nab fish. I tried to get a good look at him with binoculars, but the cloud cover and distance did not make it easy. Nevertheless, based on what I saw of his coloration and his behavioral pattern over the water, I am fairly confident that he is an Osprey. Ethan Ethan R.
