This is New Hampshire Audubon's Rare Bird Alert for Tuesday, November 9th,
2010.
A TOWNSEND'S WARBLER was discovered in Westmoreland on November 7th and was
seen again on the 9th. To look for the bird, traveling north on Route 12
from Westmoreland, go one-half mile past the intersection with Route 63, and
just before the "Amish Furniture Store", turn left on River Road North.

stay on the public road, as this is private property.
