At Pompy in Norwich early this evening (July 29), a Short-billed  
Dowitcher was moving its bill up and down in the water in  
characteristic dowitcher "sewing machine" fashion. The only other  
shorebirds detected during my visit were 5 Killdeer and a Least  
Sandpiper.

The three Hooded Mergansers flew around briefly but landed again in  
another part of Pompy. One Great Blue Heron was at Pompy, while there  
were two others in the pond on the west side of Route 5 to the north  
of Butternut Lane.
