Six of us braved the cold wet morning today for the Hanover Conservation
Council bird walk.  We were rewarded with views of spectacular numbers of
warblers, plus other migrants.

The warbler migration seems to be stalled.  Large flocks of warblers were on
the Dartmouth campus Friday, and they appear to have stayed the night.  Our HCC
group spent the entire time walking in circles on the Dartmouth campus,
following the warblers around.  We saw 31 species of birds, including 13
species of warblers.  The numbers of warblers were spectacular, probably in the
hundreds.
