One mistake in our entry of birds at Ledyard bridge today:  2 teal (1 
pair), not 2 pairs.

And an addition: 1 mink - swimming on river right, then on shore > right 
under the bridge! This is truly an under-appreciated area of the upper 
valley. The railroad causeway almost always has something interesting.
