We are getting a lot of questions about how to see Bicknell's Thrush.
Here are some suggestions:

1. Mt. Washington Auto Road- either go up yourself or take one of
their early morning van tours. See
http://www.mtwashingtonautoroad.com/guided-tours/bicknells-thrush-tours/.
They are near 100% success rate on their van tours for Bicknell's
Thrush. This is an easy way to see the bird for all abilities.
2. Go up the Mount Mansfield Toll Road.
3. Go up the Okemo Mountain Road. Park at the upper gate. Walk up the
road about 1/4 mile to summit and listen all around for Bicknell's
Thrush. A good view from fire tower there too.
4. Hike up into montane fir forest anywhere in Northeast and you are
in Bicknell's Thrush habitat.

Remember, this bird is highly crepuscular so you have to generally be
there at dawn or dusk to hear it at its finest. But in mid June, they
are active much of the morning until the eggs are all laid.

Good luck
Kent
