Turdus pilaris (Linnaeus). Fieldfare. 



Accidental. * 



The only Connecticut record is that of a specimen taken near 

 Stamford in April, 1878,^ by Schaler, who states that its actions 

 were those of a wild bird. This specimen is now in the collection 

 of Hoyt, and from the condition of its plumage and feet had 

 certainly not been recently in captivity.
