Today, under very pleasant weather conditions, Ed Hack, Peggy Madden,  
and I looked for birds at North Springfield Reservoir in the towns of  
Springfield and Weathersfield, VT. Some of the highlights included a  
Double-crested Cormorant, 3 Great Egrets present at the same time, an  
Osprey, a Sharp-shinned Hawk, 13 Killdeer, an Eastern Wood-Pewee, at  
least 15 Eastern Bluebirds, a singing Warbling Vireo, a Carolina Wren,  
a Northern Parula, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, several Indigo Buntings,  
2 Field Sparrows, a Lincoln's Sparrow, and at least one Bobolink.  
Species repeatedly encountered and apparently widespread in that area  
today included Eastern Phoebes, Gray Catbirds, Black-throated Green  
and Yellow-rumped Warblers, and American Goldfinches.
