Highlights yesterday at Ledyard ~5pm were a Merlin, Spotted Sandpiper, 
and lots of Kingbirds. Fun watching the kingbirds interact. In general, 
birds were very quiet, in contrast to Saturday morning there when both 
yellow and black & white warblers were singing.

Bountiful berries at the Montshire end of the embayment (accessed via RR 
tracks) are providing food for robins, waxwings, and others.
