After returning from a wet field trip to Plum Island, as part of
a birding class sponsored by VCE, the Montshire, and Corrnell, a few
of us continued to Ledyard in an attempt to find the Orchard Oriole.

The Orchard did not make an appearance, but we were not disappointing
with the warblers, mostly on the far end of the "causeway."
