Disturbances, Red Knots and Diamondback Terrapins

We have a few requests for information from CT DEEP as they would like the following from seasonal monitoring observations and data:

1) DEEP is attempting to determine the 2014 kite-boarding activity and disturbances across the state. Did you observe any kite boarder activity? We are looking for the beach name, date of occurrence, how many boarders were present and any other details you may have - specific location of kite boarding in water, location of equipment on beach, any board/kite encounter with birds, and so on.

2) Please let us know if you saw any Red Knots during the season with what date, beach, number of individuals and their activity (resting, feeding, etc.) if possible.

3) Please let us know if you saw any Diamondback Terrapin turtles during the season with what date, beach, number of individuals and their activity (basking, nesting, etc.) if possible.

If you have already emailed any or all of this information with your regular reports there is no need to again and we have it. Otherwise please send it to ctwaterbirds@gmail.com and we will compile it then pass it on. Thank you all so much for any help!
