Highlights among 30 bird species encountered around Norwich today  
included a Double-crested Cormorant swimming and diving on the  
Connecticut River (thus in New Hampshire but seen from Foley Park in  
Norwich near the Ledyard Bridge). One Spotted Sandpiper was foraging  
on a mat of floating lily pads in the cove south of Foley Park (and  
thus in Vermont).

An adult Red-tailed Hawk was flying in the vicinity of Hogback Road.  
Gray Catbirds were relatively widespread, being found at Foley Park,  
near Pompy Farms, and along Campbell Flats Road. Other sightings along  
Campbell Flats Road included two Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, an Eastern  
Phoebe (the only phoebe seen today), a Yellow-rumped Warbler (the only  
warbler seen today), a Swamp Sparrow, and a nice view of a Lincoln's  
Sparrow. Also along Campbell Flats Road, one of at least three Song  
Sparrows was singing for a short time.
