The Patch article states that CT has entered prime moose sighting season. The basic idea being, if you're going to see a moose in the Nutmeg State, now would be the most likely time. However, the article warns that while moose numbers are up since the 70's and 80's, they are still very low, statewide.
The primary reason CT doesn't remind people of beaches, is because ours are so bad. I defend CT every chance I get, and I like to think I'm fair about our pros and cons but we are bad at having beaches. Our beaches are on the Long Island Sound, most are rocky (not sandy) and they're also expensive, like Compo Beach in Westport, CT.
