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

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.
