WEDNESDAY, 11 NOVEMBER 2009 - Veteran's Day:
Wilder Boat Launch, above dam (1130-1150 hrs.)
Weather:  partly cloudy, wind from N at 8-9 (Leb. airport), ~45° F
Spencer & Doug Hardy, Norwich

At the Wilder Dam boat launch, the female red-breasted merganser is 
still present with her co. merg. friend. Towards the center of the 
'pool' was a sharp-looking male long-tailed duck in winter plumage.

At least one red-tail was migrating. The goshawk was distant, and after 
putting up the pigeons it appeared to be moving on. Carolina wren seen 
for about 1/2 second, located by alarm calls.

Tree sparrows not as visible as in past days, although hedgerow not 
checked on this visit.
