This morning's bird walk arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New  
Hampshire Audubon sampled an agricultural area in Connecticut River  
floodplain east of the Windsor Industrial Park in the town of Windsor,  
VT. Starting under foggy conditions which gradually gave way to sunny  
and clear skies, ten participants found more than 24 bird species.

Among especially notable finds were a Killdeer, a Greater Yellowlegs,  
an immature Cooper's Hawk pursued in mobbing behavior by at least 12  
Blue Jays, Eastern Phoebes, Carolina Wren, Gray Catbirds, several  
dozen Yellow-rumped Warblers, Common Yellowthroat, Chipping Sparrows,  
Field Sparrow, great views of Savannah Sparrows, numerous Song  
Sparrows, and a White-throated Sparrow.

Special thanks to Blake Allison for compiling this morning's records  
for eBird.
