Just walked a new trail at Pondicherry providing access to Mud Pond via nearly complete, handicapped accessible path about a half mile long, mostly board walk through spruce/cypress marsh Black-backed Woodpecker habitat, offering panoramic view of the Presidential Range over the Pond from the viewing platform at the end. Today the mountains were in clouds, but we had close up views of about a half dozen Gray Jays and four White Winged Scoters from the platform. The trail head is on Route 116 about midway between Jefferson and Whitefield. **************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
