Our group of 19 tallied 46 species. Most of the morning was spent along the River Trail (west side of S. Main St.) to the Connecticut River and back. We had good views of several species of waterfowl and numerous solitary sandpipers feeding on the exposed mud flats. Bird song and movement picked up as the morning progressed. A portion of the group continued on the east side along Brook Rd. and were lucky to spot a female eastern towhee, hear and see a male American redstart and a common yellowthroat,as well as a lone broad-winged hawk soaring overhead. A complete list is below. Thank you to George Clark for assisting with this annual Hanover Conservancy spring walk and a shout out to Adam Burnett for his extremely sharp ears. Next Saturday we will bird in Etna at the Hayes Farm Park, King Bird Sanctuary area beginning at 7AM.
