I kayaked the bay that lies between Montshire Museum and Foley Point  
today at "low tide" due to the river being drawn down by Wilder Dam.  
Fishing along the shore was a bittern, in the bushes by the railroad  
arch was the orchard oriole, and overhead was an osprey hunting the  
shallow waters of the bay. A lovely day for birds on the Connecticut  
River around Foley Point.

Tomorrow night at Tracy Hall at 7 PM:  "Where The Great River Rises",  
slide show, presentations, and public discussion of the Connecticut  
River and its impact on the Upper Valley. Come and learn more and add  
your thoughts about preserving this precious resource.
