This is a new wetland… new because the Town of Thetford owns it, with lands
conserved by the Land Trust.  I have birded there for years. A bit
challenging to access, as the beaver are very active.

 

I hike across the dam. Site is on Houghton Hill, about ½ mile north from Rt
113 on Thetford Hill.  Lots of cattails.

 

31 species on Sunday:   Am Bittern, 2 Solitary Sandpipers, Gr Cr-Flycatcher,
Ruffed Grouse drumming, Bl-thr Green W, Blackburnian W, Ea Kingbird, Br
Creeper.  

“Helmet Head”(White-cr Sparrow),  Indigo B, Wood Thrush at home.

 

22 today at Zeebedee:  Winter Wren, No Parula, Even Grosbeak, Wi Turkey.
And the usual.
