The Mascoma Chapter of NH Audubon held its final bird walk of the Spring season this morning at the Union Village Dam.  Highlights of the 53 species found:  an Indigo Bunting seen thru scope from the flagpole area; an adult Killdeer and 3 chicks by the ranger station; 2 Evening Grosbeaks in the Mystery Trail area; a Louisiana Waterthrush singing loudly and at length, but not visibly, also by the Mystery Trail; and, again, Alder FC's everywhere.

Thanks to all who shared these trips with us this season - we appreciate your companionship, enthusiasm, and birding knowledge.
