A lone female Surf Scoter was the only bird of note at Kilowatt South at 8:30 am this morning. The bird was nowhere to be seen 10 minutes later, so I'm guessing it had moved on. A quick stop at Ledyard at 9 am produced only 3 Mallards on the water, but I was surprised to hear a Winter Wren in virtually full song on the slope across the tracks from the old railroad station.
