My husband (Wayne Cripps) and I went out birding today (Sunday) starting
around 9:30 AM in Norwich. On Beaver Meadow Rd. in a beaver pond:
1 Winter Wren singing (FOY)
1 pair of Hooded Mergansers.
OnBragg Hll Rd. :
a falcon of some sort-larger than a Merlin or Kestrel.
4 Robins,
3 BJ,
2 Turkeys.
In Wilder:
Wilder Dam:
8 Double-crested Cormorants
10 crows
2 song sparrows

best birds on the remainder of our trip, including the Osprey).
Farrell Farm, on the Ct. river:

2 Ring-necked Ducks

1Northern Harrier- immature. Gorgeous! (Spencer)

Pompy boat Landing:

A Happy Ending....
Yesterday a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (m) crashed into our window- hawk
attack, I think. He looked bad. Put him in a warm box, took him to VINS. By
the time I got there he was scrabbling in the box. They tested him ,
declared him well and I brought him back home and released him. Today he is
expressing his gratitude by continually rapping on our metal roof! I don't
care-I'm really happy he survived. Hard-headed fellow I'd say. :)
Incidentals:
Chipmunk at Ledyard FOY
Beaver in Wilder
Cindy Crawford
Norwich
