Chris' message arrived seconds before we hit the send button on this one 
(twice in 3 days). Note similarities!

We spent an hour below Ledyard Bridge this morning. Highlights were a 
female Bufflehead and 2 phoebes. Common mergs were looking sharp and 
acting frisky. Selected additional sightings follow.

Coming home, our first neighborhood bluebird & kestrel sightings.
