Gail,
 I birded around Layhill Park all Saturday morning and found numbers of
sparrows similar to what you reported, except I found no juncos, nor Chipping
Sparrows, nor did I see a single bluebird (!). I only found 4 immature White-
crowns (lovely birds) but I did find one Lincoln's Sparrow in the bushy area
just beyond the "boy scout bridge". White-throats were everywhere, as were
goodly numbers of Song and Swamps (one of my favorite sparrows), lots of both
kinglets, yellow-rumps, jays and phoebes, along with catbirds, robins, and
flickers. Also had a single nice male Black-throated Blue and numerous Black-
throated Greens. Still looking for a Connecticut though...
