This morning Ed Hack and I looked for birds in Norwich under sunny  
conditions but with notable haze attributable to the smoke reported  
from distant fires in Quebec. Three Gadwall well seen at Pompy  
provided our first sighting of that species in Norwich during 2010.

Among 60 other bird species this morning, additional highlights  
included a flock of 9 Turkey Vultures at Pompy, a Ring-billed Gull  
flying along the Connecticut River, small numbers of both Alder and  
Willow Flycatchers at scattered wetland locations, a Brown Creeper  
carrying nest material into a likely nest site along Tigertown Road,  
and colorful Bobolinks in a large field along Hogback Road.
