Earlier this afternoon I stopped at Foley Park in Norwich by the  
Ledyard Bridge. A Great Blue Heron and a sizable flock of Ring-billed  
Gulls provided my first sightings for those two species in Norwich  
during 2010. The water level in the Connecticut River was about as low  
as I've ever seen.

The full list follows:
Canada Goose   24
Wood Duck   3
Mallard 6
Ring-necked Duck 3
Common Goldeneye  2
Hooded Merganser   4
Common Merganser  8
Great Blue Heron    1
Ring-billed Gull  60
American Crow   3
Song Sparrow   1 (singing)
Common Grackle   2
