A chilly morning but some good finds, particularly on the Connecticut River. Highlights included Pied-billed Grebe, American Widgeon, Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal, Common and Hooded Mergansers, and a river otter. Yellow-rumped warblers were feeding on the mid flats in Mink Brook where water remains very low. FOY House Wren at the Mink Brook Nature Preserve.
