We started out at the Richmond Conservation Land this morning where it was
cold, a bit foggy and a bit quiet for birds. Highlights here included a
quick look at a Northern Harrier, a Blue-headed Vireo and over a hundred
American Crows flying north along the river. Next we stopped at Boat
Landing Road where we spotted an accipiter, (likely a Sharp-shinned Hawk)
and lots of Dark-eyed Juncoes. We finally picked up a little waterfowl
diversity at Reed's Marsh with Mallards, a Hooded Merganser and some Wood
Ducks. A crow chasing a Red-tailed Hawk was another highlight. Our last
stop was at Tullando Farm where we had good looks at a perched Peregrine
Falcon. A second-year Bald Eagle and some Common Ravens were found,
interested in a cow carcass near the river. More American Crows were
flowing north, passing the Canada Geese that were flying south out of the
Sawyer Brook cornfields where we had seen them earlier. A total of 31
species were tallied from five spots along the Connecticut River.
    Thanks to all who joined me and to George Clark and Blake Allison who
were the co-leaders. The e-Bird checklists for participants to share and
for others to view will be forthcoming later.
