Nine participants joined in this morning's bird walk in the Norwich  
(VT) nature area under the sponsorship of the Milton Frye Nature Area  
Committee. Skies were overcast, dark, and a bit threatening, but the  
time afield came fortunately in a period between downpours. Highlights  
among more than 35 bird species included 10 species of warblers.
