Art led a great walk yesterday. The highlights of the day for me were the
wood ducks and the beautiful morning light on the river. A few photos from
the walk are at

This fine sunny, cool and clear Saturday morning, 16 intrepid birders
scouted Wilson's Landing on the Connecticut River in Hanover, where we
enjoyed good views of half a dozen male Wood Ducks, Canada Geese, Mallards,
Blue Jay, Robins, Red Winged Blackbirds, Chipping and Song Sparrows plus a
soaring and "stooping" Osprey.
Further up river, walking the widely varied habitat of the loop trail at
the UVLT/NH Audubon Grant Brook Sanctuary off River Road in Lyme, we enjoyed
nearer views of half a dozen male Wood Ducks, plus a busy pair of Hooded
Mergansers and more Canada Geese in the bright sunlight. Among other birds
seen in the vicinity were a pair of Cardinals, male Pileated Woodpecker, a
pair of Hairy Woodpeckers, a half dozen male Redwings serenading their
hidden mates, Goldfinch, Black Capped Chickadees, two Phoebes, two Song
Sparrows, Grackle, and two Yellow Rumped Warblers. Notably absent were any
other warblers, and any thrushes at all, but the waterfowl viewing was
great.
