Hi everyone,

On a walk from Gile Hill in Hanover through Mink Brook and back up Trout Brook trail four times, with four different species, I saw two birds fly up. Each time one flew normally, but not far, and one flew awkwardly. The awkward fliers were fledglings and their parents kept close watch on them. Dark-eyed junco, eastern phoebe, spotted sandpiper and indigo bunting.

My own nest empties Sunday as we move back to Colorado; our year in Hanover is over. Thank you for welcoming me to the birding community and sharing your deep knowledge so generously.
