Rob,

In the early 80s, there were two wheatears in Vershire, on a hilltop meadow off McGiver Road. I believe it was a fall record. If you care to track it down further, the birds were on the property of Joan Waltermire, long-time curator of exhibits at the Montshire, and John Douglas.

According to Bird Watching in Vermont, it is a very rare visitor to the Champlain Valley in the fall. So I'm wondering if there are previous Upper Valley records and specifically if there are previous spring records. Thanks to whoever knows.
