​The late-morning air at Lyme's Chaffee Sanctuary rang with songs of Northern Cardinal and Warbling Vireo plus rich calls of Common Loon on Post Pond.

In Orford at Reed's Marsh, enjoyed two pairs of Ring-necked Ducks, two pairs of Hooded Mergansers plus 2--3 unattached females - all diving vigorously, a sprightly Yellow-rumped Warbler plus pair of Bald Eagles side-by-side at their nest in big pine above the wetland.

Beautiful day.
