There is a small area just east of the southern end of Lake Sunapee that has
a nice variety of habitat--pond, marsh, upland field, forest.  It seems to
be undiscovered by birders--I have never seen another person there. At times
it has been filled with migrants, but this morning all the birds seemed to
be residents.

I only got half as many warblers (7) as the Hardys, but I got one they
didn't. And on the way there I got one species unlikely to be found in
Norwich -- I'm considering the Connecticut River as NH property ;-)

Here is my list from Newbury.  I'm sure there were many I missed as I was
concentrating on photography rather than birding:

Chestnut-sided Warbler 
Black-throated Blue Warbler    
Black-throated Green Warbler   
Blackburnian Warbler    
Black-and-white Warbler    
Common Yellowthroat    
Northern Waterthrush

Mallard 
Mourning Dove   
Ruby-throated Hummingbird    
Downy Woodpecker    
Northern Flicker    
Eastern Phoebe    
Red-eyed Vireo    
Blue Jay    
American Crow    
Red-breasted Nuthatch    
Hermit Thrush    
American Robin    
Rose-breasted Grosbeak    
Indigo Bunting
and a pair of Common Loons on Sunapee before I arrived there.    

I have put a brief slide show of some of the birds at
http://www.jimblockphoto.com/blog/

The second bird that looks a bit like a vireo is a female Black-throated
Blue Warbler with a daddy-long-legs.  Near the end you will see a Northern
Waterthrush followed by a Hermit Thrush--a warbler and thrush with the same
last name, sort of.  The rest of the species should be easy to recognize but
I added an ID list in case.
