During the daylight hours today, water levels were greatly lowered  
along the Connecticut River bordering Norwich, and thus a considerable  
area of flats became exposed. This evening Ed Hack and I looked for  
birds from Campbell Flats Road and Pompy south along the river to the  
area of Foley Park and the Ledyard Bridge. Among highlights were small  
numbers of Killdeer, Solitary Sandpipers, and Least Sandpipers on the  
Pompy flats where both an adult and an immature Bald Eagle were also  
initially present. Elsewhere, two Common Nighthawks were flying about  
as seen from Campbell Flats Road about 6:30 pm.
