Good birding on the river this morning. Intermittent rain, but warm and 
calm... perfect morning for birding!

Long-tailed ducks at Wilder include 1 male in spectacular plumage; full 
list below, and no doubt more land birds that we overlooked.

Ledyard also very good, with water level down but rising.  eBird 
submission not done yet, which will include at least 9 solitary 
sandpipers, 4 spotted, 2 least, and a semi-palmated plover

Pompy could also be good today. We ran out of time before school/work!
