The highlight of a midday run long the Conn. River from Kilowatt to Campbell Flats was a flock of 6 Rusty Blackbirds with 15 Red-winged Blackbirds (including the first 2 females I've seen this spring) at Farrell Farm in Norwich. Killdeer were also on the move, with 5 on the Farrell Farm fields and 16 in the field across Rt. 132 from Pompy Flats. Chris -- Chris Rimmer Vermont Center for Ecostudies P.O.
