Persistent low water on the Connecticut River north of Wilder Dam hasn't
produced much shorebird fallout in the past few days, but this morning
yielded a nice surprise, with a male Wilson's Phalarope on exposed flats
just south of the Ompompanoosuc Rivermouth. The bird was present
throughout the day, and many birders had a chance to observe it. As far
as I can tell, this is the first record for the species in eastern VT.
The only other migrants I found were 17 Semipalmated Plovers and 1 Least
Sandpiper on the flats below Ledyard Bridge.
