Val and Charlie, who manage Milford House, found a Leach=E2=80=99s Storm =
Petrel under one of their cabin steps last Wednesday morning (Oct 5th), =
long before this tropical storm reached us. Does anyone know of petrels =
occasionally hitting windows on some misguided inland forays? Theories =
welcome. =20
=20
It appears to have been a Leach=E2=80=99s and not a Wilson=E2=80=99s, as =
the webs of the feet are black in one of Charlie=E2=80=99s photos. (No =
picture of the tail shape.) Val has forwarded me the photos if someone =
wants them sent along for more definitive ID. =20
=20
I wonder how easily it might find its way back to the ocean?

(Sadly, Milford House will be close its doors after tonight once again =
until spring. It=E2=80=99s such a wonderful place to spend some time in =
nature!)

You will never guess in a million years what Charlie found under the =
doorstep this morning....a bird had hit the window before daylight, when =
he went out with the dog shortly after he saw something scurry under the =
step. Later that morning, he looked under and pulled out a STORM =
PETREL!!!!!!!!!! Not sure if it was a Wilson's or a Leach's..
And yes we have pictures.....which I will send along when I get them =
downloaded.
Now what would a storm petrel be doing in South Milford???? 20 miles =
from the salt water?? I could see it if it was after the =
hurricane....but thats not even here yet..
