Pre-, During, and Post-Irene photos/video
Here's a collection of a few random images from the peri-Irene period in Connecticut. Sorry, no particularly exciting or mega rare species included here. I kept my brand new camera setup safe and dry during the storm itself. Not all birds here are necessarily storm-related.

Forster's Terns
Laughing Gulls
