Spring migrant birds are now arriving in numbers, and new species for  
the year are appearing almost daily. A list of species found so far in  
2010 was issued this morning (see
http://www.vtecostudies.org/quest/birdreport.html    ) but is already  
incomplete because of an Osprey seen flying up the Connecticut River  
by the Ledyard Bridge early this afternoon.

A Quest birding trip along the Connecticut River is to be on Saturday  
April 17, 2010.
Meet at  8:00 am at Dan & Whit's General Store for a carpooled morning  
birding trip led by Norwich resident Chris Rimmer. We'll check several  
sites between the Wilder Dam and mouth of the Ompompanoosuc River,  
mostly in search of water birds but with hopes of some migrant  
songbirds and always the possibility of an unexpected species.   
Walking will be moderate and mostly on fairly level ground, but with  
some rougher spots and mild inclines. Dress warmly and bring  
binoculars and spotting scopes if available. Children are welcome with  
an accompanying adult. This trip is free and open to both Norwich  
residents and others. The trip will be held regardless of weather  
conditions, but be aware that poor weather will reduce the chances of  
seeing many birds.  We'll plan to return by about 11:00 am.
