Today Ed Hack and I looked for birds around Norwich. Four Double- 
crested Cormorants were by the Ledyard Bridge, and we later saw lone  
cormorants, possibly one or more members from that initial flock of  
four, farther upstream along the Connecticut River. This was our first  
sighting for 2010 of Double-crested Cormorants from Norwich.

Among 39 Norwich bird species found today, other highlights included 4  
Turkey Vultures seen at one time from Hogback Road, an Osprey and an  
immature Bald Eagle along the Connecticut River south of Pompy, a  
Wilson's Snipe along Hogback Road, an Eastern Bluebird by the upper  
end of the crooked half mile of New Boston Road, and an Evening  
Grosbeak along Norford Lake Road by the boundary between Norwich and  
Thetford. Other finds today included a Rock Pigeon sitting on a nest  
beneath the Ledyard Bridge, a House Finch on the east side of Pompy,  
and a House Sparrow at a farm by the intersection of Union Village and  
Goodrich Four Corners Roads.
