On our noon walk in Hanover, Blackburnian Warblers were back today on 
their usual territory in the tall pines between above the tennis 
courts at Storrs Pond.  Black-throated Green Warblers were singing 
nearby.  A Northern Waterthrush was next to the sluggish water near 
the tennis courts, and a Magnolia Warbler was in the trees bordering 
the fast flowing stream where it enters the pond near the swimming 
area.  Great birds for mid-day in the rain!

As we left Hanover after work, there was a Common Loon just north of 
the Ledyard Bridge on the Vermont side of the river.

At home in Weathersfield, Black-throated Blue and Black-throated 
Green Warblers were singing.  There was a mad house at the feeders 
(Goldfinches, House Finches, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Chipping 
Sparrows, turkeys (very colorful male), and a Cooper's Hawk buzzing 
the diners), the highlight of which was a Field Sparrow displaying 
its bright pink bill.  Woodcock continue to display along Camp Hill 
Road.
