This morning's bird walk, arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New  
Hampshire Audubon, covered three sites and found a total of at least  
47 bird species. We started at the Foley Park by the Ledyard Bridge,  
then went to Pompy and Kendall Station Road, and ended at Campbell  
Flats. Special thanks to Blake Allison for keeping records to be  
entered in eBird. Some highlights among the birds follow.

Canada Geese were all at Campbell Flats and mostly in a farm field.  
Mallards were numerous at Pompy. Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers were  
the only other duck species found. On the return ride, 3 Wild Turkeys  
were seen by Pompy Farms. Herons were represented this morning by  
Great Blue and Green. Raptorial species included Turkey Vulture,  
Osprey, and Cooper's Hawk. Chimney Swift, several Ruby-throated  
Hummingbirds, and Belted Kingfisher were found. Woodpeckers included a  
well camouflaged Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Downy, and Northern  
Flicker. Representatives of the flycatcher family included a calling  
Eastern Wood-Pewee, Eastern Phoebes, and a number of Eastern  
Kingbirds. At least 2 House Wrens were at Pompy. Gray Catbirds seemed  
numerous, and Cedar Waxwings widespread. A Red-eyed Vireo was singing  
at Pompy. Warblers found this morning were Yellow, Yellow-rumped,  
American Redstart, and Common Yellowthroat. Other finds included Rose- 
breasted Grosbeak, a few Bobolinks flying over, and Baltimore Oriole.
