There were hundreds of egrets - both Great and Snowy - in the various salt marshes along Hammonasset. Great Egrets have yellow bills and black feet, while the much smaller Snowy Egrets have black bills and yellow feet. They frequently flock together.

Photos of mollusks at Hammonasset State Park on 10/19. East of the popular beaches is the rocky walk to Meig's Point, with the waters of Long Island Sound on one side and marsh on the other side. The 3rd photo shows the scene where I found all these mollusks. At first I thought they were empty shells left by seagulls, but a closer look showed these shells were still inhabited by living creatures. Last photo shows human disturbance of the area.
We are so lucky to live near wonderful state parks like this!
