I conducted my annual Forest Bird Monitoring Program census at Roy
Mountain WMA in Barnet this morning. It's really an impressive, magical
place - a lowland cedar-fir swamp, with some monstrous green ash. I
don't know of another site quite like it in VT, though there are
doubtless a few. It is virtually untrammeled, with very few signs that
anyone ever penetrates the forest. The breeding bird community is quite
"eclectic", if that word can be applied...
I highly recommend a visit there, though navigating the deadfalls,
hummocks, and sinkholes is tricky.
Today's list:
Ruffed Grouse 3 female and at least 2 chicks capable of short flight
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 2
Hairy Woodpecker 1
Northern Flicker 1
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 6 singing
Great Crested Flycatcher 2
