Long Island Sound in April 2011

On April 18, 2011, Larry Flynn, David Park and I took a boat ride around the Norwalk Islands on Long Island Sound to count active osprey nests in Norwalk and Westport. There are 16 active nests in those two towns alone. There is also plenty of other birdlife out there.
