At home, the first Red-bellied Woodpecker we've seen here (1,200 ft., 
Norwich).

At Ledyard Bridge, a few surprises and nice looks (~5pm). The Merlin was 
quite active, providing a variety of views; went for the yellowlegs at 
one point and seen later with food it's talons (not yellowlegs!). No 
swallows seen, although plenty of insects being eaten by the warblers.

Also, 1 beaver.
