Took a Labor Day family hike up Moosilauke.  Went up the Benton Trail. Sweet
ascent... a rather gradual trail the whole way.

Rather quiet.... Red B Nuthatches,  bunch of GC Kinglets, couple DE Juncos,
and a chickadees.

So when I/we hike, it is always good to listen to the chickadees.  Black
capped have the "dee-dee" and Boreal have the "bee-bee"

At about 4,000 feet we heard "bee-bee" (raspy).... I pished a couple times,
and 2 juveniles came over to check us out. Trees were shortish.

Then two adults.  Dusky cap with chestnut sides. Sweet treat.

Did have great look at male Spruce Grouse on Mt Tecumseh in July.
