We wandered about the eastern side of Windsor County today, from the 
Ompompanoosuc River south to Springfield Meadow. Although motivated by 
the County Quest competition, the spirit of the day was enjoying birds 
together on a beautiful spring day. Species highlights below; all lists 
destine for eBird tomorrow.

Red-breasted Merganser, 3 at Ledyard Bridge

by 2 days)
